The last time I went to Mexico was probably the best time . My Spanish is completely trash. This happened before I had Spanish class (That class didn’t teach me anything new. If you wanna learn Spanish and the culture, then just hangs out with Mexicans, if I’m gonna be honest.) I only know the amount of Spanish that I need to know. I can understand it when others talk to me, but I’m never sure how to respond.The last thing I wanted to do in Mexico was to see my favorite cousin David and I’m glad I did. Me and my family went to Mexico to visit family members. We went to the deep south of Mexico. (I don’t know how to spell the certain part, so I can’t find it on google maps. If you ask me in class I can say it.) This day was also my favorite …show more content…

When we walked in, all i saw was these cliche things like too many people, empty blue cups, overflowing trash cans etc.This house smelled like fresh meat the whole time with lowlights and cold hard wooden floors. I end up talking to my brother the whole time while on this black leather couch and looking around. Until we saw this really sketchy looking tall guy falls down and his slim body pushes down this little table and knocks down this lamp on the ground. Light bulb and a glass coke bottle shatter into a million different pieces on the ground. No one barely saw it or heard it, because the music was blasting Mexican music. Me and my brother were the only ones who seemed like we saw it. Then later this musty short, hairy dude grabs the shaky guy on the ground by his white t shirt. Musty dude is yelling 23 words a second in Spanish in this guy’s face. Musty dude grabs a shard of the coke bottle and the perfect time, everyone sees the blue and red lights through the windows. The sketchy dude runs off and the musty dude chases after him. Everyone follows him to see if this dude gets stabbed or something. The other half of people run out, because Mexico police isn’t the best, so they don’t wanna deal with

    There are a variety of common courtesies that Americans should observe when in Mexico. Some of the important issues of cultural etiquette are described herein. When in Mexico Americans should refrain from calling themselves “Americans.” Mexicans consider themselves Americans too since the whole continent is called America. Another part of Mexican culture that may be shocking to American’s traveling there is the way machismo is verbalized by male members of Mexican society. Making sexual or derogatory remarks at women is a typical part of the culture and should not be seen as harassment. Wearing a wedding band and mentioning children usually will stop these types of comments. Attempting to speak Spanish even if your Spanish is not good is appreciated. When speaking in English slang and idioms should be avoided. Using broken English does not aid communication and can be seen as offensive. Many Mexicans speak English but many more read English. If possible, a written copy of what you are saying should be provided. Mexicans do not often say no because it is considered impolite. Consequently, it is important that you recognize this and look for other clues as to what the real answer is. If a Mexican says maybe it is a good indicator that the answer is definitely no. Asking for a yes or no response to a specific question repeatedly is tolerated but you must be patient because it will take a while before the real answer comes out. People stand much closer to each other in Mexico.

  • My First Experience At Plaza Fiesta

    873 Words  | 2 Pages

    Today I attended Plaza Fiesta, where it is rich in Spanish culture. I crossed boundaries and got out of our comfort zone. It was a cloudy Saturday morning, but I was really looking forward to the experience with anticipation. Since I once took Spanish in high school for four years, I felt confident I would have some level of comfort. I was also a member of Spanish club and Spanish Honors Society at my school. I have always been interested and open minded to Spanish culture. At the same time, I was also a little nervous. It has been quite a few year since I was in high school and my ability to speak Spanish is a little rusty. With the barrier of language, how would we understand anything? What if everyone could tell we didn’t “belong” and stared at us? Finally, after all these questions ran through my head a million times, I was ready for the experience but not before getting lost and unable to find the entrance to Plaza Fiesta.

    Until last summer, I didn't understand the meaning of family. My parents moved to the U.S. fifteen years ago. Because of that, all of my extended family lives in Costa Rica. I hadn't seen most of my cousins, aunts or uncles since the last time we visited them in 2009. But last summer, my parents and I took a trip down to visit everyone. The only problem was that I was so scared to go again because I didn't think I would recognize anyone besides my grandparents and the cousins closest in age to me. I was also nervous about my Spanish. I had been neglecting it for years, but now I really needed it for the first time.

    Each one of us have a special place that we like to call home. For me home is not only the place where I currently live. Home is where I made my most important memories both good and bad, where I have no regrets, and the place that I have to look back to every time I need to remember who I am. My hometown for me is not only the place where I was born and raised, it is the place where my story begin, the place that made me who I am, and perhaps the place that defines who I will become. As stated before, the place I call home is the place where I made the most important memories in my life. Nonetheless, other factors like people, certain places, situations, and historical events make up those memories. Therefore, all those other factors together make up what I define as home.
