shot glasses around our next car on the street there's never a dull moment in Mexico I love it
foreign
digital Nomads currently traveling the world in search of somewhere to call home we've been
in Mexico for the past two months and we've finally arrived in what many regard as one of
the ultimate food and drink destinations on the planet what is going on out here
we aren't exactly sure what's happening at the moment loud bangs are going off we think it's
fireworks there's a parade happening just down the street we're gonna go see what's going on
here in these loud firework noises for the last half an hour we've blocked off
the streets is it a special occasion today or something
everyone's drinking
people are just throwing candy at everyone I don't know what's going on
all right back
guys I'm still a little intoxicated
foreign
for a couple days now we've been pretty busy with work though we have had a chance to check out some
local restaurants and today we've got the full day we're going to take you guys with us to do
pretty much everything that's been recommended to us in Oaxaca we're going to be full-on tourists
today I think okay so our first stop of the day is something that we found a couple days ago
this unreal hot cacao drink that you dip bread in we actually haven't tried it
with the bread yet so we're gonna go try that now but the way that they make it's
really cool and it seems to be the thing to get in the main Square in Oaxaca City
I don't know I have to ask him yeah it looked like there was one that everyone
was getting so I feel like they'll know what we're talking about okay we've been
here twice and we ordered the same thing both times but we got this a different thing both
times so we're not really sure which one it is that we're supposed to order um we think
it's this traditional one and then we think you get this bread with it as well I guess we'll see
me too it's actually deceiving it's not as bad as it looks this Bread's really light and it
just sort of melts away with the chocolate I'm probably gonna end up eating the whole thing
no it's really good though it's yeah it's really light like it's
not a dense bread it's really lovely thank you
that was delicious to buy the solid eye pretty much everyone in that restaurant was drinking
and eating the same thing as us seems like it's just a thing to get there I read that cacao isn't
actually even grown in Oaxaca really it's more Tabasco and Chiapas but it's really popular here
for whatever reason obviously they don't have Uber here but they do have something called DD which
I've never used before but it's really cheap and I just ordered a taxi and it's like one minute away
so we're gonna get a taxi to the archaeological site Monte Alban I think it's called can do
tours and stuff there but we prefer to go in our own time and just come and go as we want
foreign
just looking for service at the moment because we're having a little bit of
trouble understanding each other we think he's going to be waiting for us when we're
finished here but communication is a bit difficult so we're looking for service
all sorted I think so I knew how to say one hour so I said that
he said okay and then he gave us his number so I think the worst
case scenario if he's not here there is service down here just call him okay
foreign
let's try to give it three times too much money she laughed at me how are we still so clueless
wow it's pretty cool up here I've read that apparently 17 000 people lived here at one time
I would have liked to have seen what it looked like before it got destroyed it's so cool up
here the view from here is amazing the Air's a lot thinner up here because I feel really puffed
walking around and um the drive up here was pretty windy it's got me a bit worried about getting the
bus tomorrow to San Jose I think we'll be right though it's really good up here um definitely
worth the trip up it's better than the other ones that we saw until I think yeah this one's huge and
I think it was about 70 pesos each to get in which is pretty cheap our taxi here was about 200 pesos
so all in all we're probably going to pay like 500 for the whole trip that's pretty good I think so
that was well worth the trip it was really beautiful up there I definitely recommend doing
this the weather's like it's not too hot so it's a little bit more enjoyable than like the other
times that we've gone to attractions like this it's been way too hot to sort of hang around but
yeah weather's beautiful here I really like it now the moment of truth to see if our taxi is actually
still waiting for us yeah I hope so it's bang on an hour so I thought you didn't leave us hanging
thank you he's here thank goodness yay I'm gonna make it back
okay if you come to our car what are you gonna hear about this it's called Molly is that right
you think so more less mole images in the comments you're gonna hear it everywhere
you're going to see it everywhere I have no idea what it is I'm imagining it being like
beans because there's beans everywhere here but I think there's like chocolate in it and chilies
um so I Googled the best place to try a mole Molly whatever and uh this place came
up for the best Molly in town apparently so I think we're gonna go with the tasting plate
and taste like a bunch of different ones and then maybe it will be mole fans I don't know
foreign
black food is sort of weird it's delicious like very very good must try
okay we always get too nervous to film people when they're talking to us but we just met the
owner of the restaurant uh he was awesome and he had the coolest mustache yeah I'm jealous man it
was the best mustache um but he just told us about like the origin of the food and like how it comes
from like your grandmother sort of establishes and teaches you how to cook the cuisine and apparently
it's the best one in town I said that the oaxacan people say that that is the best Molly so that
means it must be the best yeah I agree with yeah if the locals say it's the best then it's the best
oh we've got one more thing to take off the list that we have to do here which is try some mezcal
I think Oaxaca is best known for its Mezcal it's where Mezcal originated from and there's
a really good mess Galleria here which we're going to go to now we're going to taste a few
different types we may end up drunk and not finishing the Vlog we'll see what happens
did you learn anything or are you just scared that you have to drink let's go
now I learned some things it's interesting how they're made from different plants and
then the process of actually making the Mezcal comes so many different ways and
here they don't give you any like lemon or salt or anything to keep it
traditional which is a bit difficult for me so I'll see how I go it's very strong
that one tastes
almost citrusy the first one doesn't smell as strong as that one I like not okay it works
this one is a kind of old type of calories
thank you
so you can hear us over the music okay we're just back at the hostel we're staying at hostel Celina
which is pretty awesome mate it's been so good we've had breakfast included and it's been so
good every morning it's in an awesome location it's super comfortable and cozy and it there's
heaps of co-working areas as well if you are a nomad like us it's a pretty good spot to be yeah
we're just on the rooftop bar we are trying to see the sunset because apparently they're really
good here because you get a 360 degree view from pretty much anywhere in the city there's no like
or anything in the way but I don't think we're going to get it it's just a bit cloudy the
temperature though is like perfect yeah we've had a pretty epic day today yeah I'm pretty
tired I am too much Carol got me a little bit Yeah Oaxaca City really took me by surprise and
just not usually somebody that likes cities that much it doesn't really have a City Vibe to it no
it's a bit sort of a hippie Vibe I really like it here at lots of artwork
um there's lots of like dance classes and things like that it just it kind of has a little bit
to offer for everybody and so many good bars restaurants we haven't been disappointed with one
meal no uh since we've been eating here we've been to a lot of good restaurants eating a lot of good
food there's so many options here probably gonna be the favorite Mexican city so far yeah for sure
