Men showing affection to other men in public countries, that have a history of being homophobic, is also forbidden. Mexico has never been the best for being Gay-tolerant, sadly. This is because the culture is so hetero-macho.

I'm not saying it happens all the time but it does happen It even goes as far as locals refusing to speak Spanish to me even though I speak Spanish to them. Personally I find it offensive.

I have the same questions. I think that part of the culture is one factor keeping the Mexican economy from being stronger because it will result in more bad allocations of capital than would occur in a society where it’s more socially acceptable to voice your disappointment.

I had a giggle. I was thinking about the reguftung aspect where it's not real accepted here, but it's done. Than I thought about taking spoiled milk I bought at walmart., where after the 3rd time I had sour cream come out of my milk bottle and I've dumped it, to now taking it back. When your milk spoils a full 7 days before the freshment day, well let's say I had enough. I want a billionaire led company realize you can't leave perishables sitting out unrefridgerated for hours and expect people to pay for their mistake. Once, twice or three times is my limit. BTW I worked for WALMART for 6 years. They shouldn't allow this.

[@elgringoec]

When you buy something in Latin America, the sale is final. It puts a bigger burden on the purchaser to be more educated and more decisive. Like when I bought a toilet, at the register they cut open the box and inspected the contents with me onlooking. Then asked me if all good. That's because there's no returning it of one decides they don't like it, or find it "already broken" in the box. It's just how things are done. I don't know how it all nets out but this way they avoid people taking advantage of generous return policies leading to lower consumer prices. Fwiw.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I never knew I needed to use a formal greeting, but now I do and you bet I'll use one from here on out. I was sipping in TJ several years ago. I was walking by myself looking for Catrina statues. I asked a few people on the street in broken Spanish where I could find skull dolls. I didn't know what they were called. Calabiza? Finely one man understood and told me I was 2 weeks to early for Dia Los Muertos. Maybe if I would have known how to greet people? Btw mom had a fit I went walking by myself. Lol, I'm still here.

Thanks. The best way is to understand each other language.

[@tanischwarz1053]

Good day Jordan and May! Great video! I would like to add something about how to dress in Mexico. My husband and I lived at Lake Chapala for a year and are going back permanently this spring. One thing I learned during that year was that Mexicans dress quite conservatively and modestly unless they are going out to a special occasion. Even though it might be 85 degrees out they mostly always wear long pant and shirts/tops with sleeves (short or long) and rarely do you see a Mexican in a tank or halter style top. I learned to dress the same way to be respectful of their culture. Especially at banks and other business offices. You rarely see a woman showing her cleavage out in public (except as I said at special occasions - fancy restaurants etc) and especially if she is out on her own and not with her man. I experienced it myself. When I first got there, I wore the summer clothes that I wear in Canada and soon realized I was dressing inappropriately (not for the weather, rather for the culture.) It's totally different of course when you are at a beach town, however even there the Mexicans are usually more covered up when walking around town. When I walked around the Lake Chapala area with my husband and was dressed in something slightly revealing like a tank top or summer dress with bare shoulders and just slight cleavage that seemed okay, but if I was out on my own I would get some unapproving looks from the Mexicans (both men and women.) I would love it if May responded to this comment to see I was reading things right. 🙂

[@just.may12]

Hi Tanis! Nice to meet you! I think it depends on many factors. For example the age and where we live. I’m 33 and I Can tell you that many of the people my age don’t like showing much skin unless we are in the beach or going to a night club. I know people my age that even dress more conservative than I do and some other people my age who don’t care about showing too much. As a woman it’s also a matter of feeling safe, I feel that if I go out dressed showing so much I might be in danger, or in my experience I’d get sexual comments of man while walking in the street even just with my “normal clothes” (jeans and jacket). I believe it’s also important to know “where” is the right place to wear certain clothes and the way we were educated, my mom and all women in my family where really strict about how to dress, but again, I grew up in a very conservative family (on my dad’s side). I don’t think it’s disrespectful to wear whatever you want but if it’s too revealing definetly you can get some extra looks and if you don’t like that It can be awkward at some point.

[@tanischwarz1053]

Thank you for replying May! One thing I really noticed is that in the area I was in, you rarely see a Mexican wearing shorts. @@just.may12

@@tanischwarz1053yes in case of women we most of the time choose dresses and skirts over shorts and in the case of man I think they only use shorts when they are at the beach or ready to go to the pool. Yes it’s not a rule, but shorts aren’t as common as in the USA

Dunno if anyone else feels this way...I don't tip based on price. Of someone charges three times as much for a similar meal then they're already taking my money. For example a Mexican family restaurant only charges 125 pesos for a chicken cordon bleu wrapped in bacon with good sides. Probably a third of the price of a tourist restaurant. They get a good tip from me for charging me less, and repeat business.

European and because of the diversity are much more respectful than the family in Georgia. Sorry Georgia peeps, you suck. Living close to the boarder between California and Mexico we appreciate Mexican culture. My favorite memory was asking a vendor in Algodonez if he spoke English. He said, yes. I asked him if he would allow me to practice my very sad Spanish on him. He was so nice to me and gave me a discount on a dress I wanted to buy. There is no reason for us to be UGLY AMERICANS.

Not everyone in Mexico thinks the same way, so I think you need to include in your title....."we are not generalizing"

[@oscaspunkja]

As a mexican, I don't get why people get offended when Americans call themselves what they are... Americans... Honestly, this issue does not happen in any other continent, simply, because people don't identify themselves with a whole continent! Maybe europeans brag every once in a while about "being european" instead of saying that they are Hungarians, Letons, Maltesee, etc... If you ask me, I don't care, I don't identify myself as "American" no one ever called me or refered to me as "American" in Mexico or any other country... I don't think is a way of imposing the manifest destiny, or that Americans think they own a whole continent, they just don't have a lot of options... Is either "hi I'm a US Citizen", "hi I'm from the states" or "hi I'm American". So according to that logic Mexicans could also call themselves "from the states" or "US citizen" (since Mexico official name is also Mexican United States or Estados Unidos Mexicanos) and according to you "American". Once I met someone here in the US, I introduced myself first and told him "I'm mexican"... I knew immediately that he knew that he didn't want to say "I'm american", instead he said: "that's nice I'm from New Mexico", then I responded: "Well I guess we are both Mexicans then!" Everything is relative guys, and context matters!

[@ba8898]

I agree. As far as I'm aware, the US is the only country with the word America in its official name. Everyone understands which country "America" is referring to.

[@williamtiffee3799]

What's amusing, is the (former) US (of A) is no longer the NAME of the (c. 1946) UN subcorporate "nation state." (After 1945 all presidents of the US, etc. were "sworn in" saying "US," vs. "US of A!" However the PTB don't want us to know, we are no longer FREE, nor a "sovereign" country, or individuals! AND they don't want Canadians, or Mexicans, etc. to think that way, either!!) Actually the US (of A) was bankrupted by 1870, and went into "receivership," in 1933... which they definitely don't want, people to know.

[@williamtiffee3799]

And the "America" (i.e. the continent, vs. the US) point drives those of us in the United States over perhaps the average (or younger?) aged millennials, NUTS! (And we hear this ALL the time... on YT, to MSM, etc.) Gen Xers and older were raised to say "the US," or "United States!") i.e. NOT: "American, Euopean, Asian, or African..." which is BTW a NWO (One World Order, in four quadrants) artificial "consolidation planned," construct!

Great tips over these two videos! I've been to Mexico many times, but it seems there was much that I didn't know. Further to the Rolex tip... I am a watch collector. I don't buy nice watches to impress anyone but me. If you're truly into watches, you get it, otherwise, hard to explain in a comment. My question is what types of watches would be reasonable to wear in Mexico? I have a Rolex and agree that it is too recognizable to be safely worn in much of the world. I have many other watches though, anywhere from a thousand bucks, on up to Rolex pricing. I am fine to wear a bit cheaper when in Mexico, but I am wondering on where that line is.

[@TangerineTravels]

I’m not sure where that line is. Maybe you can wear something that you appreciate but doesn’t look expensive like a Hamilton. The more expensive that it looks, I think the more likely you are to be a victim of a mugging or theft.

[@realalexmackenzie]

@@TangerineTravels Yeah, that sounds like the approach I was thinking. I have a segment of my collection allocated to watches in the Hamilton price range that I keep for wear in less affluent places. I appreciate these watches almost as much as some of the higher dollar pieces, so no great hardship. I am not concerned with the monetary loss so much as making oneself a target for a "robbery gone wrong". Anyway, thanks for the input!

I stopped wearing wristwatches of any type once I began living in Latin America. I never travel with anything I can't afford to lose. I have a $25 Chinese smart watch that I wear if I don't want to pull out my phone to check the time. And I rarely wear that. My wedding ring is a $15 titanium unit and dull. That's it. More and you invite looks.

I've never met anyone who assumes that Mexicans ride donkeys and wear sombreros. That example was ridiculous.

[@Shinnobu.]

uh? but you always see that in US before 2018, but that is past, friend. if dont believe, check Speedy Gonzales, and Nacho Libre.

[@gerry9306]

@@Shinnobu. That's absurd Luis. I've never met anyone that thinks that Mexico is represented by the Speedy Gonzales cartoon. What Americans are you referring to? 7 year olds? 😂

[@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763]

​@@Shinnobu.Americans may be dumb, but they're not that dumb to think that a cartoon represents reality. Apparently you have some challenges intellectually Luis.

I am not int. cha llenged, and what I have I overcome. and yes the North A mer. were so du mb that they believed it was true about Nacho Libre, until so much of our promotion in the networks made them accept the opposite. and that stop thinking you are the most hilibily thing in the universe. I write that because i tried to put this in YT 3 times.
