How is the people (generally) in Mexico?

Question

Of course there are different kinds of people, but how was your impression? Were they friendly to you? Rude?

I am planning to work there for 6 months (in Mexico City and Oaxaca City)

Answer 1

I have yet to meet a rude Mexican.  Always shake a Man's hand.  Try and speak Spanish when you can.  Be respectful, etc.

Mexican's are cordial, friendly people.

Answer 2

In general, Mexicans are more cordial than their North American counterparts, but they may not be on time for meetings.  and in Mexico City you may encounter con-men and petty thieves--a money belt you can wear under you clothes might be a good investment.  click the link below for a good book to read before you go.  It will give you some insights into their culture and etiquette.

Answer 3

Mexico City is a huge city.  People there are like other huge cities.  You're sort of anonymous.  In general Mexicans like Americans.  Go to Guadalajara (Jalisco) if you get the chance- they'll love you.

Oaxaca is not so big.  I like the rural areas best.  Peopl ehave always been friendly to me in Mexico.  If you at least try to speak Spanish, nearly everyone will be friendly to you.

Answer 4

it is a whole new environment totally. and different culture so u have to be open to new experiences and lifestyles

Answer 5

well i think that for the most part its the same as here in the U.  S. I think some people are b*****s and I think that some people are very nice. I think in general people there are pretty nice. I go there every year I have a house about 100 miles north of mexico city. well I hope you enjoy your stay there
