@Crotalito: Ojo con leer más atentamente. Pjt escribió "tapas", que es la palabra española para "botanas", no "papas".

Yes Angelica I didn't read very well the post.

Yes Jessica it seems a the food order of MacDonald, although as Angelica said the post is above the tapas that in Spain are snacks instead of here in Mexico only are botanas.


Do you want a Sabritas Jessica?

The more open minded a person is the less cultura shock they will have. A conservative closed minded person is in for a very bad time in another country or learning another language. Of course most conservative closed minded people usually don't learn another language or go to live in another country.

Consider a new change then.

Cuando yo incialmente llege (?) en Mexico, phewww. It was such an abrupt change! The culture of Tijuana is so much more genuine than anywhere I had ever lived in Canada or in the USA. There's nothing I've enjoyed more than being given the opportunity to reach out and embrace Mexican culture though.

Tijuana is an interesting place to study culture. I actually have spent a lot of time there. However, you really need to see places like Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, Colima, Zacatecas, Queretaro, Aguas Caliente etc. etc. to be able to appreciate Mexico. Went to school in Guanajuato. San Miguel de Allende. It looks like Europe. Queretaro has a Roman type aguaduct that looks like the Romans built it. Spent 3 months in Guadalajara.

Haha, concurro. I've encountered a lot of people that refer to Tijuana as one of the most "Americanized" Mexican cities (which I can totally see)... I have a friend from Monterrey who wants to show me around some of Mexico with her in the summer... estaremos hablando solamente español.

I think culture shock usually refers to an unpleasant experience that you have whilst trying to get accustomed to life in another country.
I am English (not used to guns) and I lived in Colombia for 2 years. I'll never forget the feeling of being in a completely alien environment one day when my boyfriend was looking at his sisters new GUN. It was very small so it could fit nicely in her handbag. They were saying things like Que linda es. !!! Well, not to my way of thinking it wasn't...
