Hey Tangerine tr blahblahblah. Before we get started, just a reminder ah f#$%. So just to
wrap wrap [stumbling over words] Let's try this again.
Hey Tangering Tagalongs, welcome back. I'm Maddie
and I'm Jordan, and we are Tangerine Travels. And for once in a very very very long
time, we're actually in our tangerine mascot. We are in Lizzy right now, our
tangerine-colored Prius C. We're doing some errands today that are a little
different than how you would do them in the US so we thought it'd be fun to show
you what we're doing, and take you along. So buckle up, we're going for a ride!

made a purchase. That really really helps us out, and just a reminder, if you click

So that is greatly appreciated, thank you, thank you, thank you!
First stop, laundry. We're at a lavanderia. I'll show you how it works
Hola. Hola, buenas tardes. (Hello. Hello, good afternoon)
Hola, servicio por favor. (Hello, full service please.)
Son dos? Sí. (There are two? Yes.)
Perfecto (Perfect)
Cual es tú nombre? (What is your name?) Ciento trenta y ocho (138)
Podemos pagar más tarde? (Can we pay later?) Sí, cuando regreses. (Yes, when you return)
Tengo lista a las seis y media. (I'll have it ready at 6:30. Seis y media? Gracias. (6:30? Thank you.) Gracias. Gracias a ustedes. Bye. (Thank you. Thank you guys.)
So in the case of this lavanderia, it is pretty simple. We bring our laundry
baskets in, empty them into their baskets. We ask for the full service, it includes
the detergent and everything, they factor all that into the price. And full service
is called "Servicio." It's 69 pesos per basket and we had two of them. A lot of lavanderias,
we pay by weight, but this one's a little different, where you pay by the
basket. Today, she said that they were going to be ready at 6:30 and they
close at 8:00. What time is it? 2:45. It's a pretty fast turnaround, only a few hours. You can also
do the laundry yourself and bring your own detergent and everything, if you want
to wait around for that, or put it in and come back that's also an option. But we
opt to have them do it all so that we can get other things done throughout the
day. And if you do it on your own and provide all the detergent and everything
you're going to be looking at about half of the price you would pay for a full
service. If you guys have any questions on this that we didn't cover, feel free
to leave them down below in the comments. And on to the next errand! Where are we going?
You will find out!
So now we are here at an Auto Lavado or car wash. This particular one, you drive
in on one side, they pull it around and wash it by hand, and then pull it around
the other side where they do all the detailing. For our car, we got, what was it?
Inside and outside done for 65 pesos. What we've noticed is that they're
taking extremely good care of every single detail on all of
these cars, which is a huge contrast to a lot of car washes in the US where
they do like a good enough job and you pay like $45 dollars to $100 dollars to have your car
average washed. Yeah.
Gracias. So we just got done at the car wash. It ended up being I think what? Like an
hour and a half or so? Almost an hour and a half, yeah. That we were waiting there. Now, the car looks so
great! There's almost no Laska hair in there which is a miracle, I don't even
know how they do that. And how much did it end up being? It was 65 pesos and we
ended up tipping 20 pesos. Because they worked on it for a long time to get all
of Laska's hair out, and now we're here at Soriana Híper. I don't know how to
say it exactly, to get some groceries. So we're taking you guys with us in here too.
I wonder if this, is this even a grocery store? Is this like a Super Walmart type deal?
Looks like a grocery store. Oh yeah, the have groceries. Okay.
This store has a lot more dog food options than normal, and we are
going with the Purina Beneful original and it's 4 kilos for 222 pesos.
So on our list today is dish soap and a sponge and it turns out that they have some here
with the sponge already on it. That one that we're getting is 20.9
pesos. What are we looking at here? Organic milk, 2 for 45 pesos. I feel like I'm doing a cost of living one again.
It's not that, that's not today. Tortillas. 10 pesos for a kilo.
Fresh pressed.
This is one of our most difficult decisions of the day. There's so many popcorns we don't
know which popcorn to get. Palomitas con doble mantequilla,
Palomitas con queso jalapeno, caramel.
This one has partially hydrogenated oil. Nope! Nerp. Let's go with these.
Well if someone wouldn't drop all these! Somebody wouldn't drop them
all on the floor. These are 17.9 pesos per box, with three bags. And
then, we just noticed over here for twenty six pesos you can get a bottle of
Valentina with your three bags of popcorn. We're getting this one! We're getting this one. Of course, we have to
have our daily cup of joe, so we have coffee here and this 84 pesos. We've gotten in the
habit of making our own coffee at home, that way we don't have to rush off
to anywhere and coffee shops aren't as common here as they are in the US, so it
makes it a lot easier.
so we just got finished at the grocery store and with everything
dog food, trash bags, it was 800 and something pesos. We just got a whole lot of
random stuff. Now, we are driving back to the lavanderia. We're going a little bit
early just because we're heading home now.
Driving in Guadalajara, it feels very stressful and scary because you can't really
ever tell if it's a stop sign or a stop light, and one-way streets, it can be very
overwhelming if you're not used to the roads. And we're used to people following
a lot more driving rules than they do here, so without the awareness that most
Mexican drivers have, it's more likely to get in an accident.
Is? Now what? Now what? [Sirens and honking] It's
a green light right? I'm so confused! Yeah, it's a green light. You have people
coming to the left here. Okay go. We have a green light, there were just
ambulances making everyone do some type of crazy thing. I hate this! This is insane!
Hola. Ropa para Jordan. Creo que es mio. Sí, ya esta lista. Muy bien! (Hi, clothes for Jordan. I think that's mine. Yes, already it's ready.)
Ciento trenta y dos, por favor. (132 please)
Hay esta toda, los dos. Muy bien. (This is everything. The two. Very well.)
Siesenta y ocho cambia. Gracias. Gracias. (68 in change. Thank you. Thank you.)
We could not have gotten here with better timing. We got here half an hour
earlier than they estimated and she was just putting in the last item. The last towel. So
that was super awesome. We're gonna head home now and finish the video there
because of these stresses and craziness of driving. And we are also in a
no-parking zone, so. So just to wrap this up, we wanted to share a few important
details that we think you guys would find useful that we forgot to mention as
we were running from errand to errand. As for the lavanderia, for that same
service in the US, we'd be paying thirty to forty five dollars for it, and it was
a hundred and thirty two pesos. And we've done laundry in Mexico now, I don't know,
half a dozen times. They've never wrecked or lost anything. They've lost a sock.
Except for one sock. And one time you got back baby socks. Ok yes, they shrunk my
socks, but they did, they did stretch back out so it's okay. And then as for the auto lavado,
if you were to do the same thing in the US, it would be half as detailed as
they did. If you've never tried to clean car hair out of a no. If you've ever
tried to clean car hair out of a dog. [Laughter]
If you've never tried. I know. Clean car hair out of a dog.
Laska, do you wanna be in the video? Awe she's holding onto you so tight!
Look at these paws. We're not gonna throw you over the edge. Okay so if you've
never tried to clean car hair out of a dog it is incredibly difficult
because it gets into all the seats and the fabric, and they pretty much got
all of that out, so that is amazing. And for the value, wowza, good deal.
Laska, what are you doing? Are you a dog? So she sits by the door like this
whenever she has to go potty outside. Unless she thinks you're about to take
her and then she doesn't like it because it's a spiral staircase.
You are funny! Laska, you're so funny! If you have any questions about any of this
please leave them down below in the comments. But we have one question, what
do you guys think of this type of a video? Would you like to see more...
Laska does. Would you like to see more of our day-to-day activities? Or just sort
of like the normal comings and goings and going to restaurants, or things like
that? Or would you like to see more of us going to the zoo in Guadalajara? Going on
adventures? Or funny meaning read comments. Reading mean comments. My
mouth is no esta funcionando. Anyway, thank you guys for watching, if
you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up. And subscribe to our channel.
But before you go GONG that bell, so you get notified about videos just like this
one coming to a theater near you, coming to a YouTube channel named
Tangerine Travels near you. We will see you in the next one.
