Is Mexico Dangerous? — I Ask Mexicans for the Truth!

Is Mexico dangerous? What is one thing about Mexico that you think would surprise people back in Orlando? They're very welcoming. I am asking every American not to travel there or buy their products. Don't believe the news. Don't believe what the United States or the world wants to say about Donald Trump. You shouldn't get one perception. I was traveling, for example, in Europe. I met people from many places and I had some perceptions. For example, I thought Germans were very cold and very serious. In my experience, the opposite. Everybody helped me, everybody spoke to me. I made friends in the streets. Just by being in the streets, people would come out to me and talk to me. A lot of people told me that it wasn't going to happen and it happened. What is one thing that makes you proud to be Mexican? I don't know, that we are like kind of old friends. We are supportive with each other. And we saw it when the earthquake happened last year. And I think that many of us were very united. And we saw that Mexico is together. Like a Mexican song says, there will never be two Mexicans. I don't know, I feel proud to be Mexican. Because it's a very beautiful place, it's a very beautiful city. The people are also... Some people just focus on the drug dealing side of Mexico. Which is a reality here. Many people don't come to Mexico because they alarm people. Mexico is very insecure and you don't have to go. No, that's false. If you come to a touristic place, like this place, that is a beautiful place. Nothing is going to happen to you. Mexico City has many museums, many places to visit. And it's very secure. So don't stop coming here to Mexico because of the insecurity. Because that's false. If you are looking for problems, or if you are looking for problems in general, for life. It's when you find this type of violence. Because it's not something that affects you. If you work honestly, you won't find this type of violence. Just like there is the bad side, which has been emphasized a lot. We are more the good ones. We are more the good ones and we are more the people who want to go out and fight for their families. That there are people who give all their heart to work. That they don't mind going out late or being even on holidays. They like to work. They also tell us that we are very lazy and that we all want to go to Chile. Well, I don't know. I don't think we are all like that. There are a lot of people who do want to move forward. That's why I feel proud to be Mexican. For my people, for me, for my family. Because it's Mexico and there will never be another Mexico like this one. For you? For me. I'm beginning to keep my thoughts out of this. But I want to say one more thing. This video is in no way trying to pretend that there isn't violence in Mexico. All the stats and the horrible stories that you hear in the newspaper. These are true. These things really are happening. But the reason I'm trying to make this video today is to show that there is a completely other side to Mexico that very rarely gets talked about in Canada or the United States. All of the talk is focused on the negative. Whereas there is a whole lot of positive that doesn't get focused on. And my mission as I make these videos in Mexico is to focus on that positive side. To shine some light on that truth. And that's why I'm making this video today. Not to pretend that there is nothing bad about Mexico. That nothing bad ever happens here. But to show you that if you only focus on what the media is saying you will miss the truth about Mexico. And the truth is that it's a beautiful country full of kind, compassionate people. As always guys, I'm Dan from The New Travel. See you next time. Before I go I need to give a big thank you to Juan. He's one of the guys I interviewed today. Juan runs a YouTube channel called Easy Spanish. Easy Spanish just kind of helps people practice their Spanish skills. But it's just doing what I did today. It's interviews on the street and stuff. He actually helped me set up some of the interviews for this video. Because yeah, I was kind of shy approaching people and stuff like that. But Juan is an expert and he's got a super cool channel. So yeah, thanks for that. Translated this video? Leave your name here for credit!
