Today we've landed in one of the most exciting cities in the world, Mexico City.

But how do you get here from the other side of the world?

Well, the fastest way is by plane, and that means we've got to go through the airport.

Now we're just in the terminal waiting for our flight to depart.

We're now taking off, or as you could also say, we're lifting off.

Both takeoff and liftoff mean that the plane is leaving the ground.

Use takeoff in everyday English and use liftoff in more technical, dramatic or form situations like rocket launches or official announcements.

We're now flying smoothly at a cruising altitude of 30,000ft.

If you glance out the window, you'll notice the airplane wing cutting through the sky and a breathtaking view of the clouds below.

It's a great moment to sit back, relax, and

enjoy the scenery, or just pass out if you want.

I can see the city getting bigger through the window.

Just got off at Bogota and now we have to wait three and a half hours for our next flight.

And now we're transferring to our next flight.

This is my least favorite part of traveling.

Everything takes so long, and there are lines for everything at the airport.

Finally, we're boarding our second plane.

This one will take us all the way to Mexico City, and

The space above your seat is where you can store your carry on luggage.

It's called the overhead bin or overhead compartment.

Leon is still putting his things in the overhead compartment, and

you can see there are still people boarding the plane.

As you can see, we're packed like sardines on this plane.

There's barely any space beside me, in front of me, or behind me, or to recline.

But it's okay because it's a short flight.

We've left the terminal and we're now heading to the Runway to take off.

All of these planes are waiting for passengers to either board or disembark.

You can see a lot of planes taking off and landing here, so we have to wait for our turn.

Finally, after 30 minutes of waiting, it's our turn to take off.

You can see we're picking up speed really fast as we prepare to leave the ground.

There have been a lot of serious plane crashes this year, so hopefully everything goes smoothly.

One of my favorite English expressions is work smarter, not harder.

You're already acquiring English just by watching this video.

But what if there's a word or a sentence you don't understand?

Looking things up is a huge part of language learning, and

First, let's import the video into Lingq.

And now I could turn it into my own interactive lesson.

Look up words and sentences instantly and track my reading and listening stats.

Specifically, you could do this with any of my vlogs, or any YouTube videos, eBooks, podcasts, articles, or anything you're into.

It's packed with content I actually enjoy.

Full immersion and you can have that too.

So yeah, now you've got no excuse re watch this video and call it studying.

By the way, Lingq was co founded by YouTuber Steve Kaufman, who speaks 20 languages and who inspired me to teach comprehensible input.

Hit the link below and level up with Lingq.

Now you know what working smarter looks like.

Use smarter tools and strategies to hit your goals without burning out.

It's where you wait to pick up your checked luggage after the flight.

We've just gotten into our Uber and we're on our way to the hostel.

The ride costs about US$14 and takes around 30 minutes.

It's definitely safer than public transport, and

after being robbed, I'm honestly happy to pay for the extra safety.

Plus, since my brother and I are splitting the cost, it's really not that bad.

This is my first glimpse of Mexico City, and I'm really excited.

Not just to explore the city and its rich history, but

also to indulge in some of the delicious food it's famous for and hopefully not get sick.

You could see that bus came within an inch of the bike taxi.

Okay, we've just checked into our hostel, so let's do a quick tour and see what it's like inside There's a long mirror in the bathroom.

There are a lot of shower stalls where you can come and take a shower.

This is a shared men's bathroom which is very common in hostels.

There's complimentary shampoo and shower gel in the shower as well, which is really convenient if you didn't bring your own.

There are two urinals in the men's bathroom.

They're the wall mounted type usually used for quick bathroom stops.

This is an 8 person mixed dorm which means both men and women can sleep in the same.

Everyone has their own bed and each one has a sliding door.

We've just finished settling into our hostel, so now it's time to go grab some grub.

Okay guys, welcome to the mini segment where we explain the different types of luggage you can have.
