Rare to see as honest and succinct a vlog on you tube, much appreciated!

Landy - My wife (Mexican born) said when you guys had your issue in San Luis Potosí that you would be leaving Mexico soon. My wife nailed it! She was right. I appreciate your review. It was how your heart felt. I hate you kind of trash talked Mexico but hey that’s exactly what your heart felt. I am a gringo so thankful they gave me a Residency Visa. I can’t wait to move there and I am in 3 weeks. I don’t want them to speak a word of English to me. I have learned 40% of Spanish but I am so excited to be immersed in their language. Now you know how most Mexicans feel here in the USA. It is tough when you don’t speak the language. The thing that makes Mexico amazing is it’s laid back culture. If you feel safer in Houston that is a very false illusion. I was a police officer in Birmingham and Atlanta. Houston is probably a little rougher. Trust me there is a shooting or three daily. But a couple of shooting in Mexico makes national news In the USA. Now I am a pilot and grateful to be out of that environment. I don’t think you or your personality belongs in Mexico. I don’t think you see the beautiful culture and place it is. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. Some people don’t belong in some places. I live in Alaska currently and trust me very few people could be happy here Lol. I knew it was you that got everyone to move out. But to your defense life is precious and short. If it’s not for you it’s not. Nothing can change that. As far as raising a kid. Personally there again I feel you live in a bubble If you think Houston Texas is a better place to raise a kid. Mexican kids are so much better behaved. They have manners. They listen to their parents and respect their elders. I don’t have kids and glad I don’t. But if I did I sure rather raise them in Mexico where people actually have values. Well thanks for sharing. I appreciate your honest review. I am sorry you view Mexico so negative. 😢

Mexico is Spanish. I think if moving to their country . Do not expect people to speak English . It’s their land. We should adapt to their country . Queretaro is for retirees . Houston is ok as well. It’s crowdy And easy access to anything . Huge malls etc.,,

I think you failed to assimilate because you didn’t do your homework correctly. For example, not speaking Spanish.

Long story short just stay in your mother land country and be happy

Thank you for your honest review. I'm actually in Queretaro (Juriquilla) at the moment and it's all thanks to your channel, I started watching about 2 months ago and would have never come here if it you hadn't mentioned it. As a digital nomad, I love this place. It has good internet, highly walkable, tons of nearby restaurants and shops, and I have found it safe so far. I really like how it's not as crowded or expensive as a big city, like CDMX. I do agree with you in one regard, being in the US (especially in the larger cities) has always been about 1 thing. Making money. It's definitely the right place for business. It's known as the land of opportunity and people from all places come here to make their wildest dreams come true. I enjoy that life is slower here in Queretaro and might move here in the future. But to each, their own. Anyway, thanks for your videos. I have learned many things from you and hope to see more videos in the future.

You're worried about violence in Mexico but not in the US? Particularly Houston...hmm

1. It's a terrible time to speculate in real estate. 2. Houston is awful. I wouldn't live there for free.

The land you got in Houston looks very nice! I understand your motivations, Landy- especially coming from Shanghai where people are go-go-go; be efficient and get things done. Mexico has a mich much more relaxed vibe. Best of luck in the new house.

I like that you tell it as it is. It's in polar opposite of the Asian culture. It's conducive to retirees of course and those who need to chill after working remotely locations. It is still not an ideal place to raise a family due to its elitism culture. If you travel to Spain, things will make more sense (Latin countries were their mining and dumping ground hence the dysfunction today). Their industry has been colonialism, and it's really biting its people now. Take care. Thank you for your honest review and keen observation.

Thank you for an honest testimonial. Assimilation is never easy. It has a price. You must give up what you used to be to become what you can be elsewhere. When in Mexico, do as the Mexicans do, else remain a Texan in Houston. Makes sense.

In my opinion, if you live in Mexico you should learn Spanish. You are not in the States where you can speak English. And if you are bored take a Spanish class and maybe you will adapt.

Lady u are in Mexico Spanish is the oficial language ok is just like u are in China and u don’t speak Chinese of course u won’t find a lot of people speaking English ok so what u guys shall have stay in Mexico for 6 months and that shall have know how the life in Mexico really is so stop complaining about Mexico !!

At least, Mexico is not racist toward you. They won't never disapprove your relationship with your husband because of racist, and they won't never tell you to go back to China or what ever in Asia you arr from. Mexico accept everyone with their difference.

Love the honesty. You are right on. Best of luck in Houston. Beautiful landscape.

I feel language was a really important part of your decision. However, you don't seem to speak good english yourself...curious

I moved nin 2021 to Queretaro at 79 for the safety and being less expensive than the USA. You are nice people, so do what is best for you and your family.

Thank you for this well thought out post. The reasons for moving to a place are as complex as the reasons for leaving - far more complex than just the culture, climate or language alone. I moved to where I live now over a dozen years ago and my priorites have changed with life's changes. I wish you the very best of luck raising your family and following your passion.

Did you own your property in Querataro for just a short period? Isn't there a lot of transaction cost? 5% closing cost when purchasing and 5-8% realtor commission when selling?

You are absolutely right about Real Estate in Mexico. MX needs to catch up with the tools to facilitate doing Real Estate business, like Agent certifications and licensing, property listing shared database (MLS) and Agents must be able to share commissions in order to speed up sales

Thank you so much for your honesty

What’s the best airport to use when traveling to and from the United States from this area. (Querentaro , San Miguel…….)

yes , I understand . Thanks for sharing your thoughts . off topic ; the fine Art Paintings on your wall are very exciting and original . Good Luck to you .

Very good !! Your video is good to know your real reasons to leave Mexico !! You are very young to retire 👍🏼

I would love to live in Mexico but the safety is my concern 😔

Best wishes, Landy!

Pearland, Friendswood, Conroe, Jersey Village, and Sugarland or Fort Bend County areas are amazing in Houston, Texas expressly! The market is a bear right now and has been for quiye awhile!

Goes to a Spanish speaking country, complains that they mostly speak Spanish 😆

In all gated communities in Mexico have WhatsApp group, and there’s an administrator, if you pay your maintenance fees you should have talk to them and bring up your concerns!!! It seems to me you did the right thing to do!!! Getting out of Mexico looks like a win win for Mexico and you’ll!!!

Thank you for sharing 😊

Soly you didn't like Qeletalo , come to Los Angeles and you will love it long time.

Thanks for telling the truth!

Thanks

New to your channel, and this was a very helpful video! Was looking at Queratero, but the real estate prices increased a couple of years ago and made it a poor investment choice for me. I lived in Houston many years ago (1990) just outside the loop near the Galeria (on Westheimer). I only lived there a year, but I really liked that area. I lived in Conroe as a child, & my aunt/uncle lived in Spring for 3 decades (my uncle was one of the architect-engineers who built The Woodlands back in the early 70s). Thinking of moving back to Houston, but I'm not sure what areas are the safest. Do you have any suggestions? I'm single, no children. I'm a native Texan, but do *not* want the typical Texas mega-mansion. Just looking for safe, vibrant neighborhoods, and wanting to avoid the major crime/drug areas. Thank you in advance~

I'm sorry we won't get a chance to meet, but we have enjoyed staying in your home in Zakia. It's a very nice home. We understand some of your frustration. The mañana lifestyle can be a blessing or a curse, and we are so new at it. For example, my Starlink is going to take almost a month to get here, while other people in Mexico had theirs in 3 to 5 days. We also struggle with Spanish, but we keep trying. You go where your heart takes you. There is nothing wrong with trying something new and deciding that it wasn't for you.

This video came up on my timeline and I’m curious, are y’all still in Mexico at all because I see more recent ones where you are. No judgement.

mas chistoso video . que esperaban ?)

5:50 😂😂😂 thank you so much for this honest vlog. I really want to go to mexico but you're right, will I find something that I'm passionate about over there? maybe not 🤔 also, it sounds like you just didn't fit in.

What are these subtitles on her? It's butchered every spanish word she spoke lol.

Interesting. So you left because you could not make money off of people's shelter. And you left the US because of the capitalistic society. Wow.

I feel sorry for your husband. 🤣

hola i do not think is mexico or your country of origin or houston i think you are lacking happiness find some happiness miss wherever you and your family end up

Hello, you moved to Mexico, it's up to you to learn Spanish!

Wow, and you think the USA is better, lol...
