Difference in Cultures

Okay, since these things are fresh on my mind I had to write them down. There are many things that we find so refreshing about the Mexican culture. These are some of our observations.

1.When Mexicans go out to dinner, they sit and are engaged in active conversation throughout the meal. While we were in the states we noticed that many times when we would be out to dinner that some Americans don't talk at all when they are out to dinner. If Mexicans didn't want to talk, they just wouldn't go out with each other. They don't fake their relationships.

2. When you go to a Mexican restaurant, count on it being VERY loud with lots of music and people chanting or singing or whatever they are moved to do at the time. They are festive and wide open! Very much like myself! :o) This is hard for my dear husband!

3. One thing we like is they put children first in restaurants. They have play places everywhere. I mean, Chilis, Outback, ( these restaurants are not near us, but they are in Mexico) just about any place that serves food has a play place. Even if it is just a swing set that they have fit inside their restaurant. This morning for breakfast we went to the hotel's breakfast buffet. They had the Disney channel on and they were giving all the children balloons. Most all restaurants serve children their food as soon as it is ready, even if the adult's food isn't ready for 10-15 more minutes. They feel that if the kids are happy everyone will be happy!

4. This is it for now, cuz I gotta  go. But, the service in Mexico is bar none fantastic! They treat everyone like they are royalty! They just do a great job of service when serving your food, cleaning your room, washing your car, whatever it is, they do it with a smile and do it well. They are happy to have a job and they do their jobs well! We could learn something from them! Me included! Have a Happy Sunday! Love, Missy
