Visit: Acapulco Cancun Copper Canyon Cozumel ... Veracruz Mexico Central Time Back to Mexico Articles Any person traveling to Mexico from another country should keep in mind that customs and values in Mexico may not be exactly the same as they are at home. If you understand the differences between cultures and treat people with respect, you will ensure a great vacation surrounded by some of the kindest and most pleasant people in the world. The Spanish language has two forms of the pronoun "you". There is the informal "tu" (pronounced "too") and the formal "usted" (pronounced "Oo-sted"). When addressing a stranger or an acquaintance, it is usually best to use "usted" and its corresponding verb form. Wait for whomever you're speaking with to switch to the familiar before you begin addressing them in this way. This shows respect and more often than not, Mexicans will establish the more friendly, informal more quickly when you show them respect to begin with. Back to Top The Mexican people value the family above all else. Many times business is always secondary to family. Because of this, the Mexican people have lunch breaks in the middle of the day and often close their shops early in the day (by American standards) so that they can spend more time at home. Shops will close at their closing times and the owners and workers will head for home to be with their families.

Mexico Culture The Plain Truth about Living in Mexico By Douglas Bower My wife and I are now beginning our fourth year as American expats in Guanajuato, Mexico. Sometimes it seems only yesterday that we sold all we owned in Overland Park, Kansas, and moved here with just suitcases, nothing more. Sometimes it seems like we never had a beginning but have always lived here. I think however, no matter how long we stay, we will always be foreigners. No matter how many of the locals we know, how many dinners and parties we get invited to, we will always be strangers. We will always be the American Gringos from the Midwest. I came to Mexico with no expectations. I intellectually knew and understood that Mexicans, though wonderfully lovely people, are just as fallible as I am. And, they most certainly are. I did not come expecting paradise. I knew I would find bugaboos and problems. Mexico and her people do not have a Utopia south of the American Border. But, I must admit I was hoping that culturally there would be some sort of respite in Mexico from what had originally driven my wife and I from America. There had to be something, somewhere, that could provide relief from the American cultural meltdown that so repulsed us. There just had to be. There was.

U.S document.write('') Veracruz Mexico Learn About Veracruz Mexico Culture Veracruz Mexico is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzón and comparsa. A special kind of music called son jarocho, a mix of Mexican folk music and Cuban son, was developed in southern Veracruz state, in and around Veracruz, Veracruz. La Bamba is the most famous example of son jarocho. An equally rich dance tradition parallels Veracruz's unique musical styles. In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled zócalo, called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife. It is lined with arcades that house bars and cafes. On a nearly nightly basis large groups of people sit outside in the plaza enjoying food, drinks and cigars, while they watch musicians and dancers that perform in the square. Veracruz's 18th century cathedral and 17th century Palacio Municipal are also located on the plaza. The yearly Carnaval festival in Veracruz, a nine-day party in February or March, is the most spectacular festival of its kind, and it's also the oldest organized Carnaval in Mexico. The city also celebrates a yearly Afrocaribeño festival in July. These fesivities illustrate the fact that the city is in many ways more connected to Caribbean culture than that of inland Mexico.

MEXICO History and Culture M exico's historical attractions - from the ancient ruins of the Olmecs, Maya, and Aztec, to the train routes used by the brash and legendary Pancho Villa - rank second only to the beaches of Cancun - and Alcapulco as the prime reason people come. The reason for this is simple: the tale of Mexico's past, accompanied by an overwhelming amount of physical remains, is as romantic, blood-curling, dramatic, and complex as it gets. Somewhere around 1000 BC, the first of Mexico's ancient civilizations, the Olmecs, established themselves in what are now the states of Veracruz and Tabasco. They worshipped a jaguar God, built cities, constructed massive stone head carvings, and spread throughout central and southern Mexico until their civilization mysteriously vanished around 400 BC. Though the Olmecs left behind relatively few artifacts, their influence on later cultures was profound. In their wake came the Teotihuacan, the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of Monte Alban, the Maya of Yucatan, the Toltecs, Aztecs, and dozens of smaller, citied groups. To balance the spiritual and earthly realms and appease their pantheons of gods, many of these civilizations practiced human sacrifice, a fact that often overshadows their great achievements in the realms of mathematics, astronomy, architecture, textile weaving, art, and pottery. The Maya, for example, were so advanced in mathematics and astronomy that their calendar was the world's most accurate until this century. They could also predict solar and lunar eclipses.

Find Cancun Hotel Deals Car Rentals in Cancun Cancun Culture and History The Lacandon Mayas The excerpts below are from "The Last Lords of Palenque: The Lacandon Mayas of the Mexican Rain Forest" by Victor Perera and Robert D. Bruce, one of the definitive books about a small surviving community from the once mighty Mayan civilization. The origin of the word "Lacandon" is the Maya plural form , which derives from the agentive , meaning "the" or "they"; akan , "standing" or "set up"; and tun , "precious stone" or "stone idol(s)." Thus, the Once the conquest had begun, the Spaniards had to destroy the Mayas' functional social organization before it would destroy them. The great teachers and leaders were murdered, the books burned, the schools and temples razed, and from the fine limestone blocks of their rubble, new Catholic churches, chapels, monastaries and cathedrals were built. The traditional arts, sciences and ethnic values were lost. The people were confused, leaderless and enslaved. Maya culture survived intact only in the most remote communities, and in ones small and economically unimportant enough to escape notice. These were cut off from traditional Maya commerce, and as the peasent population dwindled, the nobles had to lower their standard of living. From a leisured, esoteric elite, the astronomers, mathemeticians and warriors became proletarians:

] Subscribe To This Site Mexico Culture A homage to Mexico culture because Mexico breathes with life To be touched by the cultural landscape of Mexico is to feel more alive. It is like having fuego en la sangre (fire in the blood) in that a new awe and desire for life is awakened. Well that's how it was for me living in the Yucatan and in Veracruz with my Mexican partner. And when you are away from Mexico, as we are for now, something tugs at your heart calling you to return to this great reservoir of cultural histories, and the great colorful canvas that is Mexico. Experiences so exotic to Westerners, are just part of the fabric of Mexico: Being seranaded by a group of musicians in your courtyard at 4am with all the neighbors standing on their rooftops listening in; dancing in the heat of the day to live music in a plaza; buying taquitos from a doorway at 3am; watching trains pass the Sol brewery with passengers sitting on the roof heading to the Northern border; buying a kilo of tortillas for 9 pesos (around 5 cents) from a tortilleria or from a man on a bicycle tooting a horn; sampling cheeses and meats at the markets before you decide to buy; selecting a pinata for Ano Nuevo (New Year); cooking in individually handmade pottery; circulating emails about revolution; seeing any of the HUGE international art exhibitions in Mexico City; being a member of a rondalla (guitar ensemble). And that's just the middle-class.

In a family there is one person in charge, meaning the father or the man of the house. Also in a family when something has to be decided the man of the house will have the answer,but only he will decide whats best. As a family, they will move ,but the father would have to recommend it. No one in the family can leave without the permission of the father. The man of the house is responsible to make sure that there is food for the family and also to take care of his family, including his own parents. Mexican familis know who is in charge and they stand proud for it.
