Me Paró la Policía en Puebla - The Police Stopped Me in Puebla
Before heading to Oaxaca, we had a busy week filled with errands, appointments, and last-minute preparations. But the real story happened when I got pulled over by a police officer for having tinted windows — something that’s perfectly normal in other parts of Mexico but not allowed in Puebla. We talk about how the situation unfolded, what we learned about cultural differences when dealing with authority, and how using ChatGPT (yes, right there on the street!) helped clarify the law and calm things down. It’s a mix of nerves, quick thinking, and a few laughs in the end.Key Takeaways:How traffic laws — and their enforcement — can vary across different parts of Mexico.Why it’s important to stay calm, polite, and informed when dealing with local authorities.How technology can help you navigate real-life challenges abroad.Relevant Links And Additional Resources:Level up your Spanish with our Podcast MembershipGet the full transcript of each episode so you don’t miss a wordListen to an extended breakdown section in English going over the most important words and phrasesTest your comprehension with a multiple choice quizSupport the show
