life in london as a mexican 🇲🇽 | heatwaves, pizza & mexican slang

Hola amigos! This week I caught up with Esteban, who moved from Guadalajara, Mexico to London five years ago. We talk about everything from surviving London's recent heatwave to the reality of living in the UK as a Mexican expat, including culture shocks, visas, housing, and the little differences that make life in Britain rather unexpected. With temperatures rising across the UK, we debate whether Britain should finally embrace air conditioning, comparing summers in Mexico and London, and why the city never seems prepared for hot weather. Esteban also takes us through a day in his life living in Battersea, shares where to find one of the best pizza spots in London, and explains what it was really like moving to the UK, finding somewhere to live as a student, and building a life in London while on a work visa. Later, we play a game of First Impressions: London Edition! Esteban shares his thoughts on Londoners, British culture, and the London food scene. To finish, he teaches me some hilarious Mexican slang, explains why Mexican Spanish can surprise even fluent Spanish speakers, and reveals the one word that seems to mean absolutely everything! If you're interested in life in London, moving to the UK, Mexican culture, culture shocks, London food, or learning Mexican Spanish slang, this one's for you lol 👍 If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like, subscribe and let me know in the comments: What's the biggest culture shock you've experienced living abroad?
