Culture

The Mexicans are very respectful and always polite, so whether you are addressing a waitress, a souvenir shop assistant or a member of the government, being respectful will help your relations with all Mexicans. You will notice that once on friendly terms, affectionate remarks or gestures will become quite frequent, whether it be a tap on the back or a hand shake.
If the person you are due to meet is late, do not take offence, it is a case of the 'Mexican quarter of an hour'.
