Fuiste siempre (

the border crossing into Tijuana Mexico from San Diego doesn't even have to stop at the check point, only coming back which you have to wait about 4 hours in line

I'm amazed at how much the Mexican side looks like the US. Big billboards, tall services signs at the interchange, and even the same truss-arm streetlights. Even Canada doesn't look like the US to that degree.

Nice video Matamos was so clean... so much has changed especially since the caravans 😥

Catchy song with this video

Great vid! Our son and his wife live near by in Weslaco, Tx

Cool video, thanks for posting this.

In the border area are newer cities, except for some localized in the Tamaulipas border, there is one called "Ciudad Mier" currently listed by the government as "Magic Town". The same city you visited "Matamoros" are the oldest of the border. Another is "Piedras Negras" in the state of Coahuila.

You're very welcome. Stay safe and happy. Chris

Awesome videos!!!!!!!!

@401RoadWarrior Hi Chris, Thank you for your wishes , I appreciate that, I also wish you and your loved ones the best for 2012. Snow also came very late this year over here, two weeks ago there was zero snow but then a massive load came overnight.Be glad that you don't have snow for a too long time, it only means extra money to pay, and of course the whole traffic goes crazy when there's a heavy snowfall. Have a great Christmas Michael

You're very welcome. Stay safe. Chris

ha ha. only found because of sound hound. thank god for it lol. brilliant remix. also I see ur canadian. beautiful country. Have family in Scarborough ON and Brampton. was lucky enough to spend summer holidays there.

I love the music u used in the video

Thank you very much. And if you're Canadian like myself, Scotia Bank branches in Matamoros as you can see in the video, felt very proud being Canadian so far from home. TD Bank branches everywhere in the States, unfortunately except HSBC no other foreign banks for retail banking in Canada, stupid IMO, more competition, lower rates for all of us ordinary citizens. Be safe. Chris

@michael112254 Hi Michael, 1) This video is mostly to show ppl in the States, CDA or elsewhere how crossing the border into Mexico looks like, in the playlist I have 60 min (4 videos) of driving in Matamoros, Zero such videos in HD on YT. 2) Always when I chose the soundtrack for a video it must a) meet my own personal taste (in music of course) b) have something in common with whatever is in the video c) put a smile on ppl's faces. Can you guess the songs I used in the video?

impresionante.. como cambia todo cuando cruzas de EEUU a Mexico.. saludos desde ARG, buen video.

That i dident know! and you too stay safe!!

Thanks for downloading this

Thank for the video !

@TheJegozu You're very welcome. And now you see why REAL-TIME driving videos are the best of the best, 1080p HD of course, when anybody can see sights and sounds as they truly exist in real life, while time lapse is very good for computer effects only. With Sony Vegas I can do any type of time lapse but I'll simply spoil the entire recording, my personal opinion and taste. Stay happy and drive safely. Chris PS I used to live in Sun City/Surprise, Bell Blvd off Loop 101, right?

For all person whose like the first song its : Miami vice crockett's theme ben liabrand remix!

MX traffic signs, rounded, are like in EU as well. All traffic signs in USA & CDA are square. And due to California strict safety rules, all cars for the US & CDN markets, made in or imported from oversees, are wider with some inches than those for rest of the world, EU or MX included. Even the very small Fiat 500 for US/CDN markets, since Fiat bought Chrysler 2-3 years ago, is a little bit bigger than the same 500 for EU & MX markets. Stay safe. Chris

Very nice video

@Westcoast802 Merry Christmas to you Michael, your entire family, all your loved ones, a very Blessed and Happy Holiday Season and a very productive, healthy and safe 2012. So far zero snow in TO and nothing on the horizon for at least 2 more weeks, still on my summer tires, the real snow ones sitting on the balcony waiting for the very first real announcement of some deep authentic snow, that's over 3 cm of snow on the ground. Take care and stay safe. Chris.

Hi Chris, I wish you and your family a Merry, God blessed Christmas. Michael

You're very welcome, any time. Chris

I see, Brownsville. I live in Texas as well you don't even have to stop when going to Tijuana Mexico From San Diego California. But coming back takes about 4 hours

Thanks, Good vid by the way

excelent video.

A miracle to see a car with ANY Canadian Province plates around the US-MX border not to mention getting into MX by your own car with Canadian plates. Same for Canadian Trucks as well. So by driving all the way down to that very remote area of USA, it's a wild adventure by itself, I mean driving all the way down from Canada. As the matter of fact not many Canadian plates south of DC, and to Texas: NONE. That's a pretty long drive therefore not everybody is fit for it. Be safe out there. Chris

I've been to Mexico 7 or 8 times and got fairly fluent in Spanish once when spending 7 weeks there. I don't know if they have passenger trains there anymore but when I went I traveled by train and got to know quite a few Mexicans. A guy could travel by train from Laredo to Tapachula for a total of $20. Buses were a bit cheaper but trains were a lot nicer. Also went to Guatemala.

There is ONE passenger train and it does not go very far, and costs a fortune to ride. It's really for site seeing.It runs from Chihuahua to near the Pacific coast in Sonora

I've been in Mexico through this video

Two different country two different environments wow

I see your point!.

Well said!

very interesting data, the only city I knew was Matamoros border, which were. It was in 2006, usually some cities in northern Mexico is a bit like American cities, as large avenues and streets, shops with signs high and bright. Matamoros is not so bad when compared to Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo with a reputation worse.

all u did is drive around? nice! i live in Mission, Tx (40 miles west of Brownsville) id like taking a cruise into mx but dunno about reynosa..

A Suomi user who lives in N Ontario and who's video-ing his daily life in Canada, all his videos spoken in Suomi language only, has made a video based on one of my Toronto videos, that was in Oct last year, it took me a while to track it down, 1 day after that I was starting getting unusual amount of dislikes, after a little bit of research it turned out all were from Finland, he eventually took that video down (I saved it on my computer), but his ppl placed ~10K dislikes on my OLD videos.

@Westcoast802 My bad, Michael, snow chains (tire chains) are illegal anywhere in Ontario, studded tires are legal only in N Ontario but illegal in S Ontario, don't know the reason for this (at least 30-40 yo) law, in Ontario is not mandatory to use winter tires at all, it's up to you, that's it, but in Quebec a new law (2-3 yo) makes it mandatory (with police fines) to use winter tires btwn mid-Dec to mid-March, anyhow pretty easy AND safe to drive on snowy roads with winter tires.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you liked the video. Crossing the MX Border, legally of course, might be fairly easy as you can see it in the video, but the REAL "mission" starts AFTER that, never forget that you're not in a friendly territory especially when you don't speak the local language and they don't speak english, plus they immediately see you as a Gringo in a foreign car, out of the question to drive by night in MX unless... LOL That was not my first MX visit: /watch?v=g_iXP43yi2I

@redpinkday Yes, this type of long distance driving is not for everybody, regardless your driving experience or what yo do in real life, it's pretty much a combination of physical endurance, driving experience AND a passion for driving, plus a pretty good car, long trip can bring lots of unexpected moments and if you don't know the environment... But in full honesty, a good road trip cannot compare with any type of fast flight, the best way you can discover a country, ANY country.

I just want to comment that not all border cities of Mexico, are the same as many others have in the country. There are beautiful cities which combines the ancient and modern.

@401RoadWarrior We even have to use them: A law says, if there are winter conditions from December 1 to April 15 you HAVE TO use them. Snow chains are not illegal, sometimes you need them, but of course you are not allowed to drive that fast you want with them. You can't "survive" without winter tires where I live. Michael

I cross border to give back. I ❤ Mexico!

Your videos are amazing. Can I ask what car you use for your trips?

Indeed, English is increasingly widespread. Distances in Mexico are as long as the U.S. or Canada. Driving from TX to Mexico City or other areas of the country are rather long distances. As I mentioned, the beauty of Mexico are in remote areas of the border, in the central, south and west. The border areas are very new cities where more than 120 or 150 years. Unfortunately there are people of USA that seeing these border areas are left with the impression that all of Mexico is well.

This looks very peaceful as compared to Juarez Mexico that is very congested!

when is a slow time to cross?

@401RoadWarrior That's unbelievable!!!! I would never expect snow in Texas and certainly not in the south. No wonder that they didn't have winter tires. I'm sure that most El Paso drivers can't handle the snow (even A LOT of drivers in areas with plenty of snow can't handle it). Michael

Let me tell you how is in Canada on the very same issue: lots of C Americans (mostly Nicaragua, Guatemala, poor countries in general), MIGRANT workers, are allowed to LEGALLY work for farmers on a TEMPORARY basis, the farmer must officially request that he needs workers, they MUST apply at the Canadian Embassy in their own country, they get a 1-3 year temporary work visa, it's up to the farmer to renew their temp visa when it expires, but NO permanent residence (path to citizenship) for them.

I think 3 border crossings in that Matamoros area, one it's just (or mostly) for trucks, the other 2, including the one in the video, for cars only. So for the one you see in the video, it's located right downtown Brownsville, the only border crossing in downtown Brownsville, you can't miss it, then the very same road with the border crossing in the video takes you straight into "downtown" Matamoros, but from there is all up to you, all traffic signs in Spanish ONLY. Always use common sense.

@RTAY58 You're very welcome.

thanks

Saw Argo. Thank you Canada.

YES of course, same with the Rainbow Bridge (the border btwn Niagara Falls, NY and Niagara Falls, Ontario), but obviously you will have to go thru the US Customs when walking into USA, no idea about requirements for walking into Mexico. But again, this video is shot at an official border crossing, no individual of any nationality would ever try driving or walking into USA illegally at ANY official border crossing.

I don't think Mayor Villaraigosa is gone love you anymore LOL Be safe out there. Chris

I'm Canadian too :D Thanks!

which car you drive???

@roofcrash Cred ca stiu la ce pod te referi, pe Google Maps il gasesti imediat: express bridge, brownsville, texas E undeva in partea de vest a orasului sau mai degraba in afara orasului, nici nu stiu daca sunt ceva drumuri accesibile cu masina pe acolo. Sa auzim numai de bine. Chris

Bulbashkin Toronto to Matamoros, MX: ~3,050 km, both ways 6,100 km, so lots of UK and EU road trips and rest stops to make up for that pretty huge distance, right?

NAFTA has really made Mexico much wealthier.

Matamoros and Brownsville Texas are cities that are twin cities. In this area we all live in harmony and no one is racist. The South Texas economy depends on Mexico, because people living in northern Mexico cross the border to buy in malls. Matamoros and Brownsville are seen as a single city metropolitan from Google Earth.

How long did it take you to enter mexico

Ciudad Mier & Piedras Negras, I looked them up on Google Maps and you're correct, both right on the US Border BUT b/c NO any sort of US urban areas (cities) in those two areas, very few Americans cross the border into MX in those two places you mentioned. The MOST known MX border towns are: Tijuana, Mexicali, Yuma, Nogales, Ciudad de Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros, all located by URBAN areas on the US side of the border. Tijuana in Dec '01: /watch?v=g_iXP43yi2I Take care. Chris

@TheSnake4149 Don't worry about, be happy, that's all that matters, right? I use only remixes, club music, it takes a lot to find the right song AND its remix to match the video. My next video, within a week, will have another juicy remix.

Me refería en general que aparte de las ciudades fronterizas de México, a lo largo del país tenemos otras ciudades que combinan lo antiguo y moderno. No me refería solamente a las ciudades fronterizas del norte específicamente. Me refería a las del centro de México, Occidente, Sureste. Mi comentario anterior fue: "I just want to comment that not all border cities of Mexico, are the same as many others have in the country. There are beautiful cities which combines the ancient and modern".

Are you able to read the video description?

@401RoadWarrior That is weird law, isn't it ? I mean if you stuck with your car in the snow and there are five cars behind you, what would be better: Keep stucking in the snow and delay the traffic or to put on snow chains and drive away? And you're right, if there're winter conditions the best thing you can have are good winter tires, no electronic systems could replace them. Michael

Actually there are NO Customs officers when you cross into MX unless you have something to declare (no idea what "stuff" you happen to have on you, in your car, that must be declared at the border getting into MX) but coming back to USA I guess English AND Spanish is widely spoken by all (or most of) US Customs officers. Here you have my border crossing into MX/Tijuana, long time ago: /watch?v=g_iXP43yi2I Feel free to ask any (non-personal) Qs you might have, I'm Canadian btw. Stay safe. Chris

No need for car permit or visa? I have double citizenship. And what rout is best laredo border or matamoros if traveling to san luis potosi

Maybe, personally as a Canadian, Scotia Bank Retail Branches caught my eye at first place, didn't go inside BUT the main issue in this area is the language, they do not speak English at all, therefore... If you are south of the U.S. Border just for the day, ALWAYS return to U.S. before the sunset, for your own SAFETY. Be safe. Chris
