so this is a story all about how, my US brain went to mexico and got flipped upside down... but das okay because i love mexico. however, after talking about all this, i still realize i have so much more to learn and see about mexico-- i've only ever been in CDMX! chilanga de corazón? maybe. anyways, i would say the biggest culture shock out of these was definitely the PDA-- that's not happening in public in the U.S. anytime soon. can y'all think of more US-MX culture shocks if you've been to both countries?

Decent public transport being a culture shock is a very American thing, because US generally and unfortunately has one of the worst public transport situations in the world.

It’s an issue of density and space. Most of our cities are not dense and spaced very far apart from each other. But the cities that are dense and closer together have good public transport like New York, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago.

I personally think you were very accurate with all the things you said ! Such a nice video to watch as a Mexican. Btw, actually we do look to both sides of the road before crossing the street, even though we just have to look to one side where the transit line comes from. This is because here in Mexico we have saying which is “Mira siempre a los dos lados por que no falta el pendejo” 😂

I really appreciate the "informal work" aspect that exists here in Mexico. Everything seems so much more accessible, as opposed to the U.S.. I love that I can be sitting on a bench somewhere and have people come up to me offering snacks, delicious food, clothing, or even just a shoe shine, or cleaning your windows at stoplights. If I feel like eating some fresh fruit, all I have to do is turn my head, and more likely than not, there will be someone selling fruit on the street. Or being surrounded by musicians playing music while you eat at a restaurant (always remember to have a pocket full of monedas!). Of course, while there are many drawbacks about this, I really like how the average person is able to work without having to go through all the hoops and hurdles, permits and regulations. I like that aspect of freedom that there is here.

Informal work is also a way to bypass all labor laws and "worker protections" which the Mexican government ostensibly cares about more than does the US. Mexico does not have at-will employment on paper, but in reality, at-will employment exists as informal work. It's an illuminating example of the futility of regulations.

Yes, it can be very helpful on many ocasions. But I wouldn't use the word "freedom" to describe it because those persons are due to work everyday to make a living, they can't take vacations if they aren't lucky in their sellings, they don't have anykind of health assurance, or anykind of labor rights. I believe that in someway they are less free.

It’s not a good thing actually. She is only referring to people who own their own business, large or small. They are avoiding taxes. But there’s also informality in other work places. People working without a proper contract, no benefits. I worked 10 years like that. Had I been given those benefits I would have more than enough credits to buy a house for example.

About the first culture shock, it's the same in Brazil. You can really easily find couples erotically making out in public places. Also, the informal job situation sounds like the same, except that here most traders are card-savvy. There was one time a homless man asked me for some money, and after claiming I had no cash, he just showed me his credit card machine.

Here in Eastern Europe you tend to see it too and if you get out of the main square it goes from smooching to straight up going at it on some bench. The first few times it's really uncomfortable, but they don't really give a crap, neither should we ig - who am I to judge.

PDA is much more common in smaller towns in the Southeastern United States. I had a fellowship in Mexico and found that I got along much better with Mexican and 'French gals than with Gringas. The attraction was mutual. Both the Mexican and French ladies would repeatedly say, you don't act like North Americans. They had never met a Southern gentleman before. LOL I really didn't like Mexico City very much. My fellowship kept me out in other areas of Mexico - which was fine with me.

Wait informal work is everywhere here in Houston. Almost every corner has people trying to wash windows or a guy in a bike selling stuff. Cash and transport is a huge difference. I hate carrying coins. I had to buy a coin bag for my belt mainly to use the restroom. I like how there is so much transportation but no information other than asking people what bus to take to get to x or y. I ended up just using uber. More expensive but waaaay cheaper than in the states and don't have to guess. I went halway across Monterrey for about $5, I always ended tipping 100% since it was so cheap compared to Houston's $20-50 trips. I just used buses that were familiar or trains/subways/monorail since they are linear.

1. PDA - because most people live 10 people in a 2 bedroom apartment due to lack of opportunities; thus, you can't really go home to make out. 2. Informal work - the average Mexican makes $610/month. It's called survival. Mexico is technically a 3rd World country. 3. Cash is King - a. people in Mexico has a distrust of banks, and institutions in general; b. Debit/Credit card scanners are everywhere in Mexico, gas stations, ATM's, grocery store terminals, and if you report it to the authorities, they do absolutely nothing about it. 4. Public transportation - again, with most of the population living in poverty, the government must provide affordable means of transportation or the economy would be even worse. Also, it's expensive to own a car in Mexico because you have to pay a steep property tax each year, and gas is twice as expensive as in the states. Some of my family is from Mexico and we've been all over Mexico. The corruption in the government is MASSIVE, and causes most of these cultural differences.

Great video (again!), Elysse. One of the reasons you don't find "informal employment" in much in the US is how nearly everything here requires local gov't permits (street food vendors, etc.), contractor's licenses (home remodeling/construction, etc), and other forms of local/state/federal regulation. Similarly, you see almost no "informal employment" in other (so-called) "First World Nations". Public transportation: Excluding some of the US Northeast, it's dreadful and shameful compared to MANY other countries. The reason: Americans like the "concept" of public transportation - so long as they don't have to pay for it!

PDA is nationwide and not just among intimate couples. I witnessed two co workers in a government office who had the hots for each other, so they decided to make out...nice.

As a Mexican who emigrated to the United states I find funny teh way you feel. I run away from Mexico because of the lack of law, order and decency. As a mexican who was born and raised in Tijuana I see the benefits and good that comes with getting rid of "Informal labor" There will be laws that will protect and benefit both the seller and the consumers, taxpaying for the contribution of the development of the country, and having insurances. Honestly the public transport is the most terrible in Mexico, no AC, extremly outdated and vandalized, people get robbed and assaulted more frecuently. Even tho I lived in mexico for 24 of my 28 years, I always felt a culture shock in my own country and felt more at home in the US.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊💞😊
