Description:
Cultural shock is a normal part of life when we move to another country whose habits are different, we have to observe and learn thelocal rules of urbanity, what body language issues are appropriate and which are not.

Why the behavior of the inhabitants of the new place is different. What do local people expect from me as a new inhabitant of the area?What phrases should I use and at what times? What should I understand about the time structure of the local people so different from mine?Why are the procedures with the authorities so complicated? And a long etc.

Our intention is to help you understand these basic and necessary questions for the real and adequate coexistence with my new neighbors.

Another way to know Mexico.
