For the first time ever, we're considering releasing videos on a schedule! What do you think about this little jingle to remember the days? "New videos every Tangerine Travels Tuesday and more fun on Sunday!" If you can top that, we'd love to hear your idea! :)

As a foreigner, it's good to be polite all the time. More polite than many Mexicans. It will serve you well, and show your respect for the people you deal with. DON'T use "quiero"/"queremos", "I want"/"we want", for most interactions. That is a command form, and it sounds more aggressive in Spanish than in English. Use "quisiera"/"quisiéramos" instead, which approximately means "I would like "/"we would like". It is the much more polite way to say the same thing. People will feel better about you and will treat you better if you just switch these words - I was surprised at what a big difference it made. Refer to men as señor, refer to women as señora. Some women in some parts of Mexico do not like to be called señorita, thinking it implies that they are unmarriageable - so I call all women señora, and no one has been offended so far. If you call little girls who are helping out in shops señora, or little boys señor, they will usually giggle and you will have done a good deed. Always use "por favor señor / señora" and "gracias señor / señora" when asking for something or when having received something. When you start talking to someone in a shop or restaurant, first say "buenos dias señor / señora" or "buenas tardes señor / señora" or "buenas noches señor / señora" depending on the time of day - don't just rush into what you want from them, take a few seconds to acknowledge that they are a person, too. These things are all a bit old-fashioned now, but they are still current practice for many Mexicans, and they are understood and appreciated by everyone. They do exactly what politeness was invented to do - they make your interactions go more smoothly and make the people you deal with think better of you. And as a foreigner, you are outside the local class system - no matter what your social status was back home, your status in Mexico is just "foreigner", and the two sub classes are "good foreigner" and "bad foreigner". Treat everyone you deal with equally well, and you will be treated well in return. Being more polite than you are expected to be is MUCH better than being less polite than you are expected to be.

WATCH IT guys because, at least in Guadalajara (and I thought it would be the same in the whole country) it is totally prohibited to have an open alcoholic beverage while driving, the thing is that the cops that are authorized to give you a ticket for that reason are the "TRANSITOS", the traffic police in Jalisco, so, don't get in trouble and help your viewers to stay away from getting a fine for binging a can of beer opened while driving, no matter hot the weather is, it is prohibited by the law. This same applies specilly in Guadalajara, it is against the law to have an opened alcoholic beverage in the "VIA PUBLICA" that means on the streets. Welcome to Jalisco and keep going guys! Visit the RIO CALIENTE in the PRIMAVERA FOREST, HOT SPRINGS WATERS RIVER, AMAZING, YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Relax they're just telling it like it is. According to the law everything is illegal. Drunk driving is illegal anywhere in the World in 2018. People crossing the street do it breaking the law, ridng motorcycles with no license plate , more than 4 people , not the correct baby seat, selling food without permit, running a business from your home, evading taxes bla bla blah. Mexico does not need to go down like the U.S. please don't discourage more freedom for Mexico. They clearly stated that it's not ok for the driver to drink and that's the truth.

I have mexican amazon prime, and delivery times are great as long as you are getting stuff from the mexican warehouse, or from the US (no third party vendors through amazon). If you order something that is coming from somewhere else in the world, prepare to wait for it for about 3 months. That being said, mexican amazon prime is way cheaper than US amazon prime. You pay 450 pesos for the yearly membership (around 25USD) on the 1th year, and I think around 900 pesos (45USD) after that. US amazon prime membership costs 99USD, so yeah...

I have a couple of fun things people never tell you, and a very fun interaction with a cop who pulled us over for “something” . Mind you, this comes from a time I drove from Orlando, FL to San Diego, then down to Puerto Morelos. Cancún did not exist at that time because it was in 1973!! Yes, I was a Wild Child, lol. In the things people never tell you portion: you ever notice how when you drive to different areas in Mexico after you have studied some Spanish, in some cities or pueblos you can’t understand but 1 in 10 words they say, whereas in other places you can talk to each other almost like you grew up together, understanding very clearly? It took me a long time to figure out it’s because of regional dialects, just like in the US or anywhere else. If you have a Mexican friend who is into the various dialects from different places have him or her do a rundown of imitating the different dialects. It’s great entertainment, and funny as hell. It’s like someone here imitating a bunch of American dialects. Another thing you probably haven’t had to do because you have GPS (we didn’t in 1973, and the atlas map we used didn’t have every single little street so that you couldn’t always figure how to get to the streets that would take to get to the larger highways to where you want to go. Here’s the tip: if you ever have to ask directions: ask a MINIMUM of three people (preferably 5 if you can.) If at least three directions match, you’re probably going to be going the right way. There’s a cultural thing in Mexico where if they don’t know where you want to go, they want to look like they’re doing everything to help you, and their pride (at least for the men) won’t allow them to not seem as helpful or knowledgeable as possible. They will point you in any direction and give you a few more directions , right or wrong, just to seem helpful. They really are trying to be helpful, but it’s one thing that actually drives me crazy, because when I’m trying to get somewhere, I don’t want to waste time getting even more lost. So that’s how I developed the trick of asking multiple people and choosing the directions that had the most matches. The other great story happened with a cop - on a bicycle! I think I accidentally took a one-way side street going the wrong way (in Mexico City), and this cop on a bike comes flying up to my car and wants to give me a ticket. My Spanish was moderately functional at that point, and for some reason my acting classes in college kicked in and I developed a plan. I spoke to him like I was some uneducated gringa who hardly understood what he was saying, even though I understood pretty well everything he said, so I made him repeat everything at least three or four times before I “understood “ him, all the while slapping my head and wailing “Ay, Diós Mío,” To top it off, he said since he didn’t have his ticket book with him, I would have to drive him to the police station (I guess he was going to put his bike in my car.) It was so ludicrous at this point that , after making him repeat everything three or four times, I turned to explain it to my friends, arms flailing like a lunatic, and said, “hit it kids”, and we put on a show that cop still probably talks about with his buddies! We started wailing and crying, beating our breasts and heads and crying, “oh, no, señor, por favor no! We just kept ramping it up with him just standing there with his jaw open. All at once, he broke into a huge grin and said “OK”. I guess we have him a good enough show that he was satisfied, and he let us go. That’s one of my most memorable moments, and I still smile when I think of it. There was one other time we got stopped by a couple of cops who were going to write us a ticket, but when we got out of the car, one red-headed, brown-eyed young gringa (me), one blonde, blue-eyed young gringa, both of us wearing very short cut off jean shorts and halter tops (remember, it was 1973 and we were hippies), along with my boyfriend. They got pretty bright-eyed and ended up inviting us to a party that night (riiight), so we diligently took down the directions and told them we’d be there. Of course there was no way we were going to go! We took pictures with them with all our arms around each other. Needless to say, the ticket was never discussed again! But I’ve still got those pictures. I hope I didn’t get too carried away with this long story, but your video on this subject just brought some very fond memories of my drive through Mexico. I am really enjoying your videos and hope to move to Mexico some day. I’m pretty much over the U.S. right now, and I love Mexico more than anywhere else. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s Awesome!

I spent a couple of weeks in Mexico one year, visiting a friend and his family, and I stayed with them at their house. I had a really great time, but I think it was because they took really good care of me, and they were financially comfortable. To the point where they could enjoy life. Had I not had people there for me to show me such a good time, do you think I would've still enjoyed Mexico? At that time, I knew even less Spanish than I do now, which would not have been enough to get by on, not even close. I don't know, I just think I probably wouldn't have had any fun there at all, had it not been for my Hispanic amigos. I was just wondering what your opinion on that would be.

It probably depends a lot on the whole interaction, but we feel like we've been totally legal in our behavior and polite during these interactions, therefore it doesn't create a bad tone.

I have heard so many times from friends and acquaintances that their country is different than we hear about here, both Mexico and other places. The same is true of what they hear about the US. A relative and her friends recently took a tour in Europe. The only network coverage the Europeans get is by one network, so the news is all from one bent source. Several years ago, I was friendly with some Colombians who worked in our office. They were educated people who were working at whatever they could do to start out in this country. An issue of NatGeo came out about Colombian cocaine. The man and his wife both said, "It isn't like that. There are some neighborhoods you should probably stay away from, but that doesn't mean the whole place is bad." Some Mexican neighbors told me to wait, don't go there right now. But you guys are doing well, so there you are. Thanks for the great videos. It is OK for people to have their own bubble, but don't let it hold you back.

Guess you guys never got ripped off at a Pemex station. We did on our first trip in 2004 so we knew what to look for last Dec. 2018. This was in Puerto Morelos. After the attendant filled up the tank, it was like 380 pesos and my husband gives him a 500 (which is blue). This punk does a quick change in his back pocket and shows my husband a 20 (also lbue). Now I'm on the other side of the car watching all of this. So I go up behind the guy and fish the 500 out of his pocket and said what's this, huh? So busted! Since then I have learned to put the 500 on the hood of the car and say "cambio." Really enjoy ALL of your videos!

The brother I never really had before grew up in Morelia in Michoacán. He has lived in my home for more than a year. Gave me some tips to travel on. First! Street vendors have no money to live on. The tamales, taco's,or any other meat based product can easily be made with dog or cat meats.

Sure hope to get to visit Puebla and Chiapas, two states very worthwhile experiencing! Several friends that have lived in the now overcrowded, overpriced Ajijic for years are considering relocating to Puebla City or San Cristobal de las Casas, which are definitely attractive alternatives to ex-pat living in Mexico, although, as we all know there are positives and negatives to each town and city in the country.

You are 100% correct about water in restaurants. If they want return customers they will never serve you tap water. Because no Mexican drinks tap water. One important warning: Never buy bottled water from a street vendor. Only in a store and verify the cap is still sealed. In Guadalajara I saw a street vendor filling empty water bottles from a filthy public fountain--while a dog was swimming in the fountain!! I hate to imagine what happened to the unfortunate people who drank that water.

The package was sent via Australia Post. It then went into the Mexico postal system. According to locals, the Mexico post is disorganized and bad. It's more recommendable to use DHL or other mail carriers. We've never ordered from Amazon, so we can't speak to that unfortunately. Hope this helps!

Oh yes there's a huge difference between Chihuahua Sonora Baja California Nuevo León and Tamaulipas and the South like Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Chiapas etc. When you live in Mexico City seems like the rest of the country have an accent to talk which is strange and sounds funny when you haven't travel there yet! It will take almost 3 years to meet every single part of the whole country (spending at least 1 month in every state). Mexico is wonderful but can be risky at nights speacially in certain states. Keep eating tacos the real ones 😂 😂 they are the best

Here's another one that took me some time to figure out. The green left turn arrow! In the US and Canada it means protected left turn, but in Mexico all it means is you're allowed to go left; it doesn't necessarily mean that everybody else has got a red light. That just made me think of another one, too. On the open road, on a two-lane highway, if the car in front of you turns on their left turn signal, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to pass the car in front of them. There may not even be a car in front of them. More likely, they're telling you that it's safe for you to go ahead and pass them (in their opinion!). It's super cool that they're so keen on being helpful, and it's one thing that I love about Mexicans. BUT don't always trust their judgment! THEY may think it's safe for you to pass them, but you should still check for yourself and exercise the usual level of caution. This one also took me some time to figure out. And about the gas station attendants. Did you know they used to do that everywhere in the US and Canada, too. Way back when.

That doesn't mean anything is organic here, but there is something better about it compared to the US.

It is easy to create a stereotype about a person or place when you don't actually know that much. You have to be there to experience yourself and learn about that place. Most places have a primary language Spanish but we might call things in different way. It is like comparing Lift and Elevator from U.S. and U.K. In small towns you might have a problem because they speak an indian language or also called "indigenas" . Maya, Zapotecas, Totanacas, depends on the location or state. In huge cities the main language in Spanish.

Here is how to understand the bribe thing: The cops don't make all that much. The fines are expensive. The cops don't care if the government gets the money. win-win if you are speeding or smoking weed. They won't shake you down unless you look like a douchebag in Puerto Escondido. (edit: 2-500 pesos will get you out of a lot of different things depending on where you are)
