Culture Shocks From Living in MEXICO? (CDMX)

Ойын-сауық

What are biggest culture shocks that foreigners experience living in Mexico and specifically in Mexico City? I ask people on the streets of Mexico City about the things they love and don't like about Mexico, what has shocked them most and also get Mexican perspective on some of these questions as well.

    I've dated a Mexican woman for 2 years, what my biggest culture shock was, was that Mexicans work a lot, she works like, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, here in the Netherlands it's like, 4 days, and 8 hours a day, for most people, anyway, it was the best time of my life, an experience that I will never forget, and also, I hope to one day, end up in Mexico, and just go party with her and a couple of her friends, because that's something the Dutch, and the Mexicans have in common, they LOVE to party, I also love Mexican food, spicy food in general is amazing, but Mexican food is my absolute favourite, music wise I also love Mexico, Mariachi has become one of my favourite music genres to listen to Karla, I am forever greatful that we crosses paths, you mean so so much to me, I will always love you and support you for who you are, and what you desire in life

    Unfortunately that is because Mexican work ethics and laws don't take the wellbeing of workers into their consideration, add that the old generations thinks that is how things should be and trying ask for better conditions will brand you as lazy or troublemaker. Just look into how long is taking for a new law to reduce our weekly working hours from 48 to 40 hours to being officially launched, and even then some workers aren't optimistic because they know some assholes bosses will ignore it or try to circumvent even if is the law.

    right finally someone with a brain. People think oh it's nice to live there. But of course you can live well off when you have US, Euros and other first world country money that is more when you convert it to pesos. They never go in the dirt poor area and see how hellish the locals live. Anyone with good money from a first world country can live well in south america and Caribbean and smaller 3rd world countries

Wish gad been there say 25 years ago. I took intercity buses and were costly tbh. I loved the experience and needed to use my Spanish a lot ...I was shocked as to how ordinary workers survive as welfare state where is it inc water not drinkable so how can people buy water for whole family or medications??

    I'm Mexican, I was talking to another Mexican girl and a Colombian girl on a flight from Peru to Argentina, they both lived in the Mexican girl in Switzerland and the Colombian in Sweden. We laughed the whole way as they would comment on their experiences and culture shocks. the funniest one is the Mexican girl, was invited after almost a year of dating her Swiss boyfriend to have dinner at his families home. It was very cordial and pleasant, however at one point her boyfriends Dad just showed up in pajamas and laid down to sleep in the couch and saying "It's very late, I am very tired, I need to work tomorrow early, there is so much noise etc" an obvious invitation for her to go. I am not sure if this is common I am almost certain it is not, we just laughed so much.

    I had Chicano friends who did a lot of these things too. One would always make plans then just not show up, and she wouldn't even text me, then when I would see her, she would just act like nothing happened. And my other Chicano friend would always offer to invite me to a soccer or football match or to his house for enchiladas, then never mention it again. And yeah, as someone who was raised to be a very punctual and reliable person, the whole "manana" concept is something I'd like to see done away with.

    Absolutely not. It's our culture, you're just not understanding. Amongst ourselves we have no issues knowing when an invitation has actually been programmed or not. Typically people who say these things to you are making an open invitation and you can from your end let them know if you'd like to follow through. Also, we know how to be punctual, we just separate serious formalities from things that are more personal. For example a Mexican would never show up late to the office as that's a strict obligation. A party on the other hand we are free to relax from the strictness of corporate culture.

We can't help the way we look but attitude with air of superiority I agree is not ok period. All kinds of people in Mexico city live in there so I don't like to share that kind of attitude that Northers think they are better from Mexico city. That is a point of view that is very skewed. I actually feel people from Mexico especially the richer families are really full of themselves because of the way they have an air of superiority.

    One of the girls said Mexicans work a lot and only get 1 week vacation after a full year of work. Well it sounds like USA it’s the same here the only different is you get 1 week vacation and when you want to take it the company don’t wanna give it to you. Not counting that you work for dark to dark and don’t get to the the sun and you can’t get sick because you get fired and work Sundays and Saturdays long hours and get extended when there is a holiday. Instead of being close for Holidays you are open later. So you go home and to work that is it. Your paychecks go straight to bills and you don’t have a life because of the economy. At least Mexico is more free in that aspect. There is so many things to do in Mexico that’s does not require lots of money. And pollution is everywhere in the world.

    Hey! I want to clarify something. grasshoppers are not a normal food. Some indigenous ethnic groups from places like Oaxaca ate it, Oaxacan vendors took it to CDMX and sold it as something from our roots, but 99.9% of the country does not eat those things on a regular basis and they are part of our purchases in the market. It's a tourist trap.

    I have news for you so listen up. Everything you say in your comment, well us gringos up North in the cities being invaded by people from your country and other places more south , we can say the same about you. So re-read what you wrote and realize we up North in the US and Canada are dealing with the exact same thing, the same situation. Also as a famous obnoxious president once said about immigration, they are not always sending to the U.S. their best people. Well the same could be said for our people who are choosing to live in Mexico : They are not always our best so don't expect all will be perfect. Having said that fact which I just stated, you should also know that most of us in the North do not hate our southern neighbors. Quite the contrary.

    0:45 Wow, that's quite the broad statement ("Latin Americans working more slowly than US-Americans and Europeans"). As a scientist, I've worked in the UK, Belgium, Sweden (my current spot), and Chile, among others, and I've noticed something interesting. Chileans seem to be notably more productive than Italians, Spanish folks, and even some southerners from Belgium (Wallonia, to be precise). On the flip side, Northern Europeans really ace the efficiency game and are masters of long-term planning. Now, about Mexicans, they might not be the quickest with their time, which might explain their lower productivity. It seems like they put in more hours at work, but the output doesn't match up. From what I've seen, Chileans and Uruguayans definitely put their noses to the grindstone more than their southern European counterparts. They've got this serious, trustworthy vibe about them (although it's less consistent compared to Nordic countries when it comes to reliability). But hey, Colombia and Brazil? It's a whole different story - they are way more relaxed. Ultimately, saying all of Latin America operates like Mexico alone? Nah, that doesn't quite capture the full picture. There's a mix of work cultures and productivity levels across the region.

    I lived in Mexico for almost two years, and the biggest problem I had as an American was that Mexicans are never on time. As a native New Yorker, you learn really quickly that New Yorkers are not going to be pleased when you arrive late, especially without calling or texting. No one cares in Mexico about being late. I never got used to it and saw it as a huge disrespect of my time at times. Another thing was not being direct. Mexicans love to talk in circles (rodeos). When I was teaching English, many male students hated that I was very direct with them. They were used to getting their way at home and in the streets. But that was not going to happen in my classroom. Older males over 30 had less of a problem with my directness. I believe this was because many of them were trying adapt to the American way before beginning jobs in the US. Female students were used to being around men who took charge. Thus they accepted my directness, especially after I explained why directness was important in American culture. Over all, Mexican women are warm, sexy and friendly. Some wanted to really get to know me so that I could bring them to the US in the future, but most did not act that way. My Mexican girlfriends were great. The only problem I saw was that they did not know how to make decisions for themselves. If I asked someone out to dinner, they would need their dad's permission to go out at night. And these women were already in their 20s to almost 30 in two instances. Mexican guys liked having me around in social settings at the beginning when my Spanish just okay. The second I became completely fluent with a great Mexican accent (according to Mexican women), the men seemed to get jealous because I no longer needed them to help translate for me. I could now talk to everyone even girls the men liked. In conclusion, I loved it in Mexico. As with any other place on the planet, Mexico has its good aspects and bad ones. The people are very nice and their culture is welcoming. Once you know Spanish, everything gets much easier. Learning about the Mexican idea of time and getting things done in a timely manner are the biggest pitfalls of living there. If you can learn to deal with those negatives, Mexico will become a joy for you.

    Punctuality in Mexico occurs in the work place and at school. Outside, for social gathering sadly Mexicans don't feel punctuality applies. Because they relate punctuality to obligatory chores and or duties. Meeting a friend is not a duty therefore....well you know
