good day first world travelers and welcome back today I am a yet another absolutely
awesome area of Mexico City this is Polanco let's have a look around!
so as I mentioned in previous videos there's so many diverse areas of Mexico
City which for me as a first time in Mexico City has been completely
mind-blowing because I didn't expect there to be such a variety around this
huge city but Polanco is just another example of what I'm talking about so
it's often referred to as the Beverly Hills of Mexico City
you wouldn't think there will be an area like that inMexico City right but
there is and just from walking around as I've got here I can feel it already
there's people much better dressed if you know what I mean nice cars Mercedes
BMWs and buildings as well great houses that you know it actually does look a
bit like Beverly Hills and I have been there so I'm in a park at the moment and
as you can see there's these purpley pink lilac I don't know what color is
blossom trees basically which you can see all over Mexico see particular in
places like Condesa and Roma which are just amazing awesome
let's go for a walk
I spy with my little eye something beginning with C looks like a church
so I've been in and out of the church I didn't like to talk in there I think
it's disrespectful people praying et cetera so I come outside
it's another impressive example of churches in Mexico I think I actually
prefer this to the cathedral in the historical center you've got the little
organ which is really cute up on the top you've got the stained glass which is
really impressive and overall you know I think the when I think about churches in
other countries particularly the UK this is a hell of a lot more impressive in
terms of the design and the architecture that sort of thing so yeah church is a
fantastic thing to see in Mexico City I'm not gonna lie it's not something that I
normally I'm impressed by you know with the exception of maybe places in Italy
this is awesome great place to come
so you know it's a great place for filming when I can't stop filming
stuff because it's just awesome the sky is clear blue that's not a cloud in the
sky it's very pretty I don't use that word very often and
it's just lovely excellent and I don't know where I'm going I'm just exploring
that's what Travel is about discovery so let's continue up this road and see what
more stuff we can find okay my next stop in Polanco is the Soumaya Museum
apologies if that's wrong it probably is it's basically an art museum one of the
many museums in Mexico City are is a big thing there's lots of art museums this
is modern art I believe so it was only built in 2010 so it's quite new and it
was named after the wife of the guy that designed it or built it and Soumaya
someone she died in 1999 so I'm just going to look just look at the design of
it it's absolutely bonkers it's a typical example of the
architecture you can find in Mexico see you've got old stuff they've got new
stuff and of course in the plan Carrera it's quite you know it's like I said
it's the Beverly Hills of Mexico see is quite well-off and a lot of the
architecture is very modern so a lot of buildings around there it actually feels
a lot like Canary Wharf in the UK especially up that way near a San
Joaquin oh my god San Joaquin station a lot of office blocks and I wouldn't say
skyscrapers but tall buildings sky look
okay it's brutal honesty time I am NOT a fan of art I literally have zero
appreciation for art and going to this museum was about as exciting as watching
paint dry pardon the pun now if you are an art
fan this could be an absolutely awesome place for you to go the guy that built
it Carlos Slim is the world's richest man
yes he's the world's richest man that's insane and as well as some more modern
things in terms of sculpture things like that there is a lot of older art for
example van Gogh etc so in that respect it was very impressive oh what's this
place behind me no video going to a posh area would be complete without going to
a posh shopping centre you got Hermes Louie Vuitton so I'm gonna pretend that
I'm rich and I'm gonna go shopping window shopping
Oh
okay if you haven't seen something already the blows your mind about Mexico
City this is it okay I've never seen so many designer stores so close to each
other so they'll literally be a Prada on each floor there'll be a Gucci on each
floor it's absolutely amazing I just walked past coach I've never seen so
many shoes in my life this is better than someone like Dubai my mind is
literally blown Dubai Hong Kong has nothing on this place absolutely
brilliant so if you have got a bit of extra money to spend when you're in
Mexico see definitely come here it's brilliant
so I'm going to have a shopping orgasm any moment now just walk past a shop
which has got posh expensive chocolates in behind me our hundred inch
TVs there's a Samsung place only place over there
so gang a bit flustered because of the amount of materialistic items which I've
heard by if I was rich but unfortunately I'm not there so I'm just gonna have to
look at them 4k it's literally amazing its massive it's like I'm literally
there at Machu Picchu with the alpacas I've been there by the way
obviously the filming on this phone doesn't make it a very good but in
person it is literally out of this world
Oh
so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Polanco is my favorite area of
Mexico City so far largely because it pretty much sums up what this channel is
about first world traveler if you don't know what that made basically I'm a bit
of a travels north I've got high standards when it comes to traveling and
walking around an area like this I feel very comfortable I feel at home
yes I'm a snob I don't care so I could also walk around blanco literally all
day and do maybe an hour long video but I think just about 10 minutes might just
be enough but hopefully I'll give you a bit of a taste up so I hope you've
enjoyed having a look around Polanco as much as I have definitely put this on
