What are the local customs in Mexico? What are the taboos?

1. Mexico is cheerful and likes to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex. If this happens when traveling, it is generally wise not to respond and avoid eye contact. However, Mexicans also have a "conservative" side. They pay great attention to the rigor and solemnity of dressing in public occasions, so men must wear trousers and women should wear long skirts in public occasions.

2. In Mexico, generally, people should not ask each other, especially women's age, their marital status or their salary, income and property.

3. There are many activities in Mexican churches. If you happen to meet religious activities during your visit, you should watch them quietly and don't disturb them. Pay special attention not to talk about related topics with Christians, and don't casually mention Notre Dame Guadalupe, because it is considered blasphemous.

4. If you visit the Indian inhabited areas in Mexico, tourists should pay attention to respecting the customs and beliefs of the local people, and don't act rashly, so as not to disrespect the gods they worship.

5. Like many countries in the world, you have to pay tips to enjoy services in Mexico, and there are many names. Under normal circumstances, you need to pay a tip of 1 pesos (1 US dollar is about 11 pesos) to the bellboy, porter and room cleaner. When dining in a restaurant, you need to tip the waiter about one tenth of the consumption amount, while when taking a taxi, you don't have to tip the driver, but you need to tip the oiler.

public security situation

Mexico City, as the capital city of Mexico, has a good overall public security situation, especially in the inner ring of the city. However, Mexico, as a country with a high crime rate, should not act alone at night, and tourists should try their best to move in crowded areas.

national taboos

Mexicans believe that purple is an unlucky coffin color and should be avoided. From this, a big taboo has evolved-you can't give gifts to Mexicans, and you can't send purple items or gifts wrapped in purple. Wearing purple clothes is not welcome when you are visiting others or parading through the city. In Mexico, yellow flowers mean death and red flowers mean spells. In business activities, it should be noted that smiling and shaking hands are their greetings in Mexico.
