Things that SHOCKED US about Mexico City
When we visited Mexico City, we found that a lot surprised us! We also share the big mistakes we made in CDMX.
►Subscribe to our channel:
Mexico City is full of shocks and surprises! In the massive CDMX metropolis of more than 20 million people, the number of things that are going to surprise you is off the charts, typical culture shocks aside!
This city is one of the museum capitals of the world - you can barely throw a rock without hitting one! From the highly acclaimed Anthropology Museum, to Chapultepec Castle, to the free-of-charge Museo Soumaya, there are endless things to for the museum lovers of the world.
Not a museum lover? No problem. Go check out the massive Chapultepec Park, go skiing just outside of the city, eat at some of the best restaurants in the world, and pig out on cheap (but awesome) street food! Visit 6 flags for a day of thrills or go check out the Historic Center.
That leads us into something else that totally shocked us about Mexico City, the massive variety between the old and the new. You can visit Aztec ruins that are many hundreds of years old or you can head to Santa Fe and visit La Mexicana Park while you check out the beautiful skyline (as we do in this video). The skyscrapers don’t end in Santa Fe, though. They are spread out throughout the entire city - Mexico City is full of thriving business.
Watch out, though! It’s not all good. Something else that was a shock to us is the massive number of thieves (specifically pickpockets.) The city has a lot of them and you really have to watch your stuff and watch your back. If you’re planning on traveling around using the subway, you better have your belongings secure!
Among quite a few other things that shocked us about CDMX, we also take the time to recap our trip and talk about the mistakes we made during our Mexico City trip. Where to stay, transportation, food, and prices, we have it all covered here in this video!

Aztec Ruins National Monument, Aztec, NM (2018)
Aztec Ruins National Monument and World Heritage Site is located in the Four Corners Region of the United States. This site dates back about 900 years. This is one of the sites that tends to get overlooked by people visiting northwest New Mexico. While it is not as extensive as Chaco Canyon or Mesa Verde it is more accessible.

How To Visit 10 World Best Castles & Dragon Temples For $1,000. Inside & Outside. Incredible Places
How To Visit 10 World Best Castles & Dragon Temples For $1,000. Inside & Outside. Incredible Places
Now we will save you at least $10,000. As you might know, if you are our subscriber, that me and my 9 years old daughter making a sequel for the Dragons, the original gathered over 1 million views last year. I already had new incredible footage of real Dragons I got in Polynesia and Central America. But to complete the video we were lucking the original footage of Dragon Temples & Castles, that must always accompany the dragons. To visit Europe and see all these castles would cost you 10,000 - that's in Euro, that is pricier than Dollar. That trip would never cover even a fraction of cost of video, especially now since the advertiser crisis. Our first Dragons with 1.3 millions views made $3,000 last year, but today for the same views you are lucky if you get a couple hundreds. In case you wondering why almost all recent videos you watched are dropping the ball in quality - this is your answer - YouTube creators can no longer afford to produce quality stuff for you. But we refused to take shortcuts by using CGI, Castle miniatures and stock footage. And we found the way to see 10 world most beautiful castles for less than $1,000 or 10% of the cost. And now we would like to share it with you because Kryan channel have a subsection of life hacks to make your life easier, better and cheaper. The thing is that world most beautiful and best preserved castles and temples located not in ravaged by many wars and harsh winters Europe but in British Columbia, exactly in Victoria - Vancouver Area. Now you can see them on Kryan channel from outside and inside and realize, they are even more grand than European counterparts. And if you live in United States, Canada, Mexico or most of South America - the trip to Europe and visit 10 cities to see 10 castles & temples will cost you over $10,000 while visit to Canada will cost you only $1,000 or even much less if you are already in the Pacific North West because all you need is to visit only 2 cities Victoria and Vancouver to enter all these beautiful castles we are showing you. In addition, Canadian castles come with big bonus (no, not the girl) but magnificent gardens surrounding them.

Balloon Fiesta Park -- Best Tourist Attraction - New Mexico 2013
From a small gathering of 13 balloons in 1972, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has grown to become the largest balloon event in the world. Held each year during the first week in October, the Balloon Fiesta now attracts more than 700 balloons and 1000 pilots.
Scenic New Mexico Highways
Here is a video of two highways that offer scenic views of the New Mexico high desert mesa terrain. The first highway is called the Wagon Mound Highway, route 120 that runs from Wagon Mound to Roy. Turning south at Roy towards Logan, the second segment begins just east of Mosquero as the road drops off of the vast mesa into the valley below. It hard to think of this area as mountainous but the elevation at Wagon Mound is over 6300 ft, so it is actually higher than Denver by a thousand feet. I used my old Sony HX1 mounted to a tripod on the passenger side to shoot this. There's a little shake sometimes, but I'll be happy to look back at it and remember the trip. Thanks for watching.
