Chris: This doesn't make a lot of sense.
Josh: This one has a dead horse in it
Chris: Doesn't have... just a dead horse and looks like there were some other dead animals at one point
Catherine: A cowboy hat...
Josh: The aftermath
Hey guys, so I just want to let you know a few new ways that you can get a hold of me outside
of YouTube. The first is through Facebook, where I
update on upcoming trips. The second is through Instagram, and that's where I
post exclusive photos from the trip, and the third is a way for you guys to
donate to the channel if you want, and it's through a Patreon page. Alright guys,
sorry to waste your time hope, you like the video!
Hey! Good morning guys, so today we are doing a bunch of different stuff. So
we're heading back into the town today gonna explore a bunch of the city square
again during the day, they also have a bullfighting ring which we're gonna go
check out. So this morning we woke up to something that we're still not sure
what's going on, a massive, huge, loud bell - almost like a ringing, like, we thought it
was maybe a volcano, not a volcano
Adam: Earthquake
Josh: Yeah! We thought it was maybe in like an earthquake siren
alarm, because this went off for 30-40 seconds straight, loud enough to wake us
up, you could hear it all across the city, and then it went off in another spot. So
Chris was busy looking that up this morning, but couldn't find anything, so
we're not sure, and people at the front doesn't even know what we're
talking about, so unless it was all in our heads - all four of us - I'm not sure
what it was. But, nobody else seems to be alarmed with
it, so we just carried on with our day.
Well, we think we may have found that
bullfighting ring! We were getting worried because on the map that said it
was right here, and we didn't see anything, because this was a Main Street but,
looks promising! We're gonna go check it out, and we won't leave Adam behind!
Somebody is here, so we'll actually get to go in and check it out!
Okay, so we are in
we're gonna just go take some photos, check it out - there's nothing
going on today but, we're able to get in a lock door - so that's good!
Yeah it's,
it's really nice we got to go up here. We arrived at the gate and was locked
and there happened to be a guy, I think he's just cleaning on the other side of the gate,
Chris asked (luckily he speaks Spanish) so, he asked if we could go in and check it
out, he said yeah, sure so this is awesome!
A lot of firsts on this trip! Never been
to a bull fighting or any sort of fighting ring I guess, I haven't even
been to a people fighting ring.
Ah! That's kind of cool!
Bull fighting occurs each year on August 14th
Plaze La Tourina hold 6000 spectators
Bull fighting was brought to Mexico by the Spanish Conquistadors. Bull fighting in Mexico continues to be a popular event despite opposition by animal cruelty activists.
Could have been that train now that's like... well it keeps blowing it for so long
Okay, maybe it was a train that this morning instead of the earthquake
warning system we thought but, I've never heard a train that blows its horn for 30
seconds or more at the time.
Oh well,
No yelling! No running! No Pushing! Or else the Bulls
will get you! I'm pretty sure they probably yell in here.
Chris: Yeah
Josh: I'm not gonna say that's a fact, but I'm pretty sure they're
gonna yell in here.
Chris: Yeah
Josh: So just down the street around the corner from the
bullfighting ring is a... I guess a museum, and it is free, at least we're in for
free, so make sure you check it out if you're in this area and you are
interested in seeing what the bullfighting is like. Seems like it's
pretty cool
Chris: 50th anniversary of the bull ring, so it was built in the 1950's.
Josh: Yeah that's pretty crazy. I wouldn't want that to be chase, chasing me around a ring.
Catherine: A guest book
Josh: Oh nice
Mexico City is home to the biggest bullfighting ring in the world - La Monumental - which holds over 40,000 spectators
Chris: Yeah this is the one we're in.
Josh: Ah, no way
Chris: Yeah it looks like it was!
Josh: It's almost like the designed to look like it is.
Chris: Yeah
Josh: Even got the press boxes at the bottom!
Chris: That's true!
Adam: The goal is that you kill the bull
Josh: That's yeah, pretty much
those were your options.
Novemeber 14, 1982. This bull was 460kg
Josh: Phew!
That's a big guy!
This dude right here
Warning: Please be aware that some of the follwing images may not be suited for all people. The imahes show bull attacks and personal injury.
Yeah I would have a hard time watching that, I don't know if I would want to
watch the actual thing.
Chris: I didn't realize they did that here
Josh: Yeah, I was going to say I didn't realize they did that in
Mexico as well as being chased.
Chris: I didn't either until I read this morning that they do it on the 14th of August
Josh: Being chased by this fuzzy guy.
It's a challenge Catherine!
Catherine:I'd watch it from there only.
Chris: Yeah, I would only want to be an observer
Oh look at this! Here is the event
