Yo viajé a Mexico hace cinco años, y mi experiencia de la gente fue que son generosos y agradables. Las personas que conocé no eran ricos pero compartieron que tuvieron. Pienso que muchos de los Mexicanos en los estados unidos - que yo veo - son un poco...o sea... tímido. Pero que puedo decir? Creo que son, en general, personas maravillosas.

I think they are too subordinate to the Catholic Church. I like that they are very family oriented. That is a strength for them. Their cultural values do not support women's health much. I havent seen many hispanic women running for exercise. I am starting to see more of them walkig. Machismo can be overdone and be dangerous to non-Mexicans. Do other countries have machismo?

I've traveled to Mexico 4 times and I've seen the country from north to south. On the plus side: - they are friendly, helpful and welcoming - there is no 'typical' Mexican - you have all sorts of personalities and regional differences - I like their artistic skills (I've seen public art makers, hammock makers, etc.) On the negative side: - they tend to be loud (I had a hard time getting a quiet night's sleep everywhere) - when being asked to give directions, they prefer to lie than to say that they don't know because it is supposedly more 'polite' (other Latin Americans do this to)
