Best decision we ever made too... Been here over a year now and over 13 Mexican states (we're in an RV for now)... LOVE it!

Agreed. I don’t miss much but my friends. Best decision I have made in a long time 🇲🇽

The "Pedestrian right-of-way" practice in the US (Colorado), is almost obnoxious. You can't drive thru town without someone slamming on the brakes because they see a person that might be thinking about crossing the road at some point in time. Kids! Yes always use caution and stop. Mexico assumes that a Pedestrian has enough common sense to let a vehicle pass before crossing the freaking road! Designated cross walks with warnings are adequate. Finally got that off my chest.😂 Thanks Paul

Great video.... thank you for taking the time to discuss important subjects.

I am Chiapaneca and we love our Mexican people of all colors and I am also speaking for myself.💚🪴

"Nationality" would be based on whichever passport you are using - so if you have both Mexican and USA citizenship and passports, you would answer based on which passport you are using for that trip.

Nice Paul! Thanks for sharing!

Really good information, gracias Paul. Also, thanks for the cool glimpse of Valle de Banderas!

Gracias por tu video! Muy interesante. Bello final "de mi familia a la tuya, Dios te bendiga". Bendiciones

Good stuff Paul, bonus points for the Wolf reference 😂

Thank you Paul for this very useful infor. and congrats for your new born son Max!

good information, thank you!

Thanks for this beautiful. Video

Bravo excellent video. I'm Canadian and l plan on becoming a Mexican citizen

Muchas gracias for this excellent advice-video . I practice most of these here in the u.s.a. and whenever I travel - and recognize the pushy officials there as well as here. It's good to remember to be in what I call 'business mode' with certain people. Thank you, again - all great points to keep in mind. Looking forward to your next video.

Great information and is true.

Another great video!

Great video my friend !! Thanks 👍

Great video Paul,congratulations on the new bambino!

Good information, thanks for sharing

Great video Paul, I agree with everything you said. 👍

Thsnks Paul!!!

In accordance with what you said: Many people don't know, but usually the poorest states in Mexico like in many countries are the less organizated regions, as well exist more organization in urban and semiurban locations than the rurals places, but also this can vary between regions, Is the same thing with the ethnicity in Mexico because is geo referenced, usually the south are predominantly indigenous, while in the center, are more mixed race people (mestizos, castizos) and in the bajio, western and the north live more people of european ancestry, where most of them are directly decendents of the spanardians and mediterranean cuacasians in generally. And many pesdestrians walk so lazy, walk where they want, walk watching the cellphone or walk diagonally, so is more a situation of imprudence by both sides, not necesary by bad drivers, besides this also can vary depending the regions, the more developed are the state more civic education are.

I handled my own inmigración and I’m so glad I did. I think you learn and grow by challenges

As naturalize US citizen borne in Mexico Nayarit when i came to live in Jalisco after 43 yrs ,even I had some culture shocks. 😂 your 5 observation are on point amigo 🇲🇽🇺🇸

I greet everyone when wandering around, following the lead of my Mexican friends who smile and greet everyone, it seems. Believe me, introvert me would rather not call any more attention to myself than I already do just by being a foreigner, but when in Mexico, do as the Mexicans do is my motto. Especially in my own neighborhood.

Thank you

Any plans to do a video update of Pauls cafe and condos ?

Thanks Paul Good to know.

Thank you!

After 13 years, there is one thing that I truly wish they had in Mexico: TRADER JOE'S!! 😂

Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

I am not sure if I agree with anything, but nice video. I personally believe in being overly kind with everyone in Mexico. I have found that a well placed compliment will literally slay most Mexicans and then I can get whatever I want. I have unlocked more amazing experiences with a smile than I could ever expect. Mexico however to me is not organized, it is downed in red tape. The fact that every time you go through a government official you have to have three copies of a form that no one really cares about, is ridiculous. I do however agree with you that Mexico is not a race. Mexico is very diverse and you really can't point out a Mexican. The range of races that make up Mexico is enormous. Have fun in Mexico. You can always go back and visit the USA.

Cuban people vary as well. Can be more spanish or more african

😍🤗💚🤍💖 Gracias Paul 🙏🙏🙏

Question: how long does it take to get paperwork to live in Mexico? I was born in US but I am mexican! Well,now you got me all confused. 😊 I want to retire in Mexico. i am married to a Mexican (born in Mexico) I went to elementary school in Mexico but have been here 40 years now! Sooooooo, do I need a Mexico visa? Or need to become Mexican resident? I honestly never thought I did. But now I am a little confused. Thank you for this video. Oh and if I want to retire in 5 years do I start the paperwork now?

I tried to change the name on my cfe bill last week. I was told I could not change the name because of the hurricane 🌀 and would have to come back next month. I guess some papers flew away. 🙄

If I move to Rosario..... how do I keep a us license and us licenses plates

You need a tax ID to rent an apartment? Is that if you are coming in with a temporary residency?

Mexico has to do something about the littering problem. People toss their garbage everywhere.

In Mexico nobody cares if your keeping up with the joneses or no. It's less stressful then the U.S.

As far as dealing with the goverment they are both the same in the us and Mexico its call bureaucracy they a.. holes and rude . The only ones more friendly here in the states is the local ans country level a nd also mich faster than in Mexico,

You're wrong when you say "Mexican isn't a race". Yes, it is. Depending on the context, Mexican is a race, a culture, and/or a nationality.

When you come to Mexico, maybe you will have to change about some prejudiced white wash points of view of the world.(I'm not trying to offend to anyone, it's a verifiable fact that you, U.S. citizens have been indoctrinated to think that way). We don't categorize who is more Mexican or less Mexican for their skin color. We are all Mexicans for our deep and rich historical/cultural common background, Not for our genetic background, less or more, we are all mixed breeds. I understand than you hadn't accomplished that yet and for you, your only backgrounds are genetically, but, never never never say bullshit like: oh, I'm an 1/64 Cherokee by my Gran and a 1/16 irish or any crap like that in México. Forget about that way of thinking. I'm not saying than we don't have racism classism or other issues, I'm saying: we don't need NEW forms of racism or classism.
