About Mexicans
For mexican people, "tomorrow" may mean "not
today", however it can also mean "next week".
What happens now is more important that what
will happen in the future. This can take to have
delays and cancelations without or with few
anticipation. It's important not to take delays as
a personal offense.
Mexican culture is conformed by old traditions,
and mexicans are really proud of that traditions
About Mexicans
People hug you or kiss each other in the cheek
when meeting even if it’s the first time. This is a
normal way to say hello.
Communication tends to be indirect and subtle.
To "decorate" the reality is common and it’s done
to please and not offend other people.
We always try to respect the other people by not
telling directly what they don’t like. People are
really sensitive when giving and receiving critics
or bad opinions.
