what is the mexico lifestyle. i would want an answer preferibly from someone who lives/lived in mexico?

Answer 1

It depends on what part of Mexico and how Rich or Poor You are!! I will tell you my Experience of Mexico I was sent there in the late 80s to set up machinery for a General Motors Plant in Metamoros, Mexico. Once you left Brownsille Texas and crossed the border in was like the difference between night and day. It cost 25 cents to enter and while living there this is what I observed. Open Air Markets and street vendors selling food--tamales-burritos and so forth with flies and gnats swarming the carts. Upon going to the factory I passed through many streets and roads and saw many different styles of houses. Some homes were beautiful white stucco 2 and 3 stories and turn the corner and you would see a shack of a home made out of plywood and corragated tin sheet roofing for the walls sitting upon 55 gallon oil drums for a foundation with junk cars in the yard. Some yards and neighborhoods were green and well landscaped and others were dirt and ragged. It was also very hot I arrived in February and it was 91 degrees.NOW--NOW I am not generalizing the Mexican Population and am not racist THIS IS WHAT I OBSERVED ABOUT THE PEOPLE-- The people I came in contact with through working at the GM Plant WERE MEXICAN this plant was a God send to them but the people were not very motivated-They had a high turn over rate in the workforce at this plant. The people would work for 3 or 4 months and a lot of them would quit. The plant manager and personel manager stated they would work long enough to get money for a 1967 Chevy then quit. And even in the plant they were allowed 1 hour break for Siesta at my plant in Indiana we had 3o minutes for lunch. They had lunch break and Siesta break. As to their other lifestyles I observed a lot of kids playing soccer, most of the people dressed well, a lot of the homes had 2 or 3 generations under 1 roof, alot of the homes had several families under the same roof, alot of the people walked or rode bycyles for transportation, Most of the people had dogs for pets. Repeat I am not stereotyping this is just what I observed when I lived there in the late 80s

Answer 2

it depends ,but let me tell you something, If you are an unskilled Aussie and work at Cole's or Woolworth's, and get a job in Mexico [teaching English] for instance , perhaps you may get surprised by the similarity in both ways of living, in Mexico the unskilled people are usually poor, on the other hand if you live in Mexico and teach English even though you are AN unskilled person in Australia,when living in Mexico you are skilled because you speak other language thus you can teach English and earn a reasonable income as much as the check out kids who works at Woolworth's or Cole's in Australia. I'm Mexican born and breed I also visited Australia, and the things i stated before are pretty close to the truth.

Answer 3

I live there. Come to Los Angeles and pick almost any random area, its Mexico.

Answer 4

Answer 5
