So we are going by metro and see how the metro is in Mexico City Sachin ji where do you belong in India I belong to Bihar in India Basically, I belong to Begusarai which is in Bihar. If we look at it now, the weather is quite mild, neither cold nor hot I was going out without a jacket but he told me to take a jacket because it is important Because by evening the weather will get a little cold People who come to visit Mexico usually land in Mexico City Their first destination is Mexico City Means they starts from here but in my case it's the opposite The capital of Mexico has some such roads Right now we are almost in the center but we are moving to more central areas. This is what the metro station looks like at the moment So lets take the metro of Mexico city The name of this station is Doctores So here I have purchased a card for Metro Right which costs 0.80$ I have topped up 1.06$ in it You can go anywhere in Mexico City by metro and it will only cost you 0.27$ per ride. It is a pretty big city And metro is very cheap here.
This is what a Mexico City metro card looks like Well, you can see that there are many transport logos on it, which means that your card will work in all these transports. The Mexico City Metro system is the largest metro system in North America after the New York Metro system From around 200 stations throughout the Mexico City Metro So now we have reached where we had to reach There were actually only two stations The design is very good, the indigenous paintings and designs are made here like Mayan civilizations etc...

Mexico City played a major role in the Spanish colonization as a financial support capital. And today Mexico City is a very vibrant historical city If I had known Mexico City was such a fun place, I would have come straight there I wasted a lot of my time in the Yukatan Peninsula We are going to many places and are about to cross this street.

We haven't riched Zocalo yet, we are still in the center This street is the most popular street in Mexico City She is telling me that there is not much crowd today. Sometimes it is so crowded here that there is no space to even walk. There are many beautiful colonial structure buildings built nearby. There are many showrooms and outlets of many good brands here. The indigenous people of Mexico used to eat a lot of bugs and insects etc to complete their protein intake. Chapoline is a kind of insect. In which area there are many historical buildings around There is some history of every building here This whole street is pedestal only street One can only walk here, no vehicles are allowed here Here only pedestal people are visible far and wide Here a lot of people are roaming around in customs to take photographs So friends, now we have come to the Zocalo, I have told you about this many times in many videos That is, in the center of all the cities of Mexico there is a big square which is called Zocalo It is a big Zocalo or Square Look there's a church in front of me There's a huge Mexican flag in front of it.

Actually when Spain captured and colonized Mexico and Mexico City Over many of their secrets and holy places and temples they built churches and cathedrals in the blacks which surround this cathedral and Zocalo Friends, it is not so hot right now, the weather is fine but the sun is very strong So we've just moved a little bit out of that area You can see here that the crowd has reduced considerably we are currently going to one of the tallest buildings in mexico at the skyscraper There is a great view of the whole of Mexico City from there Brother, we have just reached the basement of the tallest and one of the most famous buildings here.

It seems so to me Because she is also saying that she has come for the first time, if she had been alone she would never have come Mostly people go here during the day, but we are going here at night or in the evening. It looks a bit like the shaded area Look here, some people are standing in some special dress These are called Mariyachis These people wear full suit and boots, some in black colour and some in white colour People come and hire them, these people sing very well These people dance well, sing songs and play music There are many Mariachis standing here, they are in their local clothes I didn't understand that much either, so she explained it to me There was a couple here who paid them to play the song They was enjoying and songs etc were playing They were all playing romantic songs Latin American culture is very romantic culture She is telling me not to talk to them too much, otherwise they will catch me Some people are wearing very colorful dresses They all have their own different instruments. Here I will tell you something unique and different.
There are some couples here who are crying too There are actually two types of performances happening here Either everything is related to romance and a romantic song is playing or else someone's heart has been broken and hence a heartbreak song is playing Either it's completely romantic or completly sad , there's nothing else is playing People come here in two ways, first when they are romantic or when they get heartbroken So this is the local culture here Its a very New Cultural for me I didn't know something like this existed here It's very traditional here People from any further group can come here There is a lot of romantic stuff written there, people are singing there, some are laughing and some are romancing she is smiling at me There are more couples here and they are also smiling at me so friends we just arrived at OXXO which is a convenience store which is everywhere in Mexico she wants to buy a spicy candy from here so let's see which candy does she buy because I haven't seen it yet so let's see Let's see which spicy candy is here Ok, so there are a lot of unique spicy candies here.

Sachin ji which spicy candy do you want I don't like candy that much We are buying a lot of candies, it seems like she is going to try every candy She like spicy food very much People here eat a lot of tamarind flavored food. Tamarind is very popular here or almost everything has tamarind in it Here tamarind is found in trophies, chocolates, candies and even in alcohol These people are afraid of Indian spices, I don't know why Who will eat so many candies, I am telling you to take them all home this candy is huge This is a huge candy She has bought almost every kind of candy there is in the candy shop so guys i have to pay 9.35$ for this many candies Look, I am paying by card and it will not ask for Pin and it will just be paid directly Look, he bought a whole packet of candies In Indian Rupees it cost around 900-1000 Rupees (9.35$)
