When in Rome do as Romans do: Mexico

Mexico is a place, where I would definitely like to go one day. It is a really interesting country to visit, located in the middle of the continent of North America. I like the local people and their view of living. In my opinion, they think positively, love and enjoy their life, and try to take everything of it. Mexico is full of sociable, warm and cheerful people and heritage cities. To begin with, Mexico lies about 10 000 kilometres away from Estonia and the climate there varies from tropical to desert. So, you definitely do not have to take any warm clothes there, usual shirts are fine enough. On the other hand, tight or low cut clothing is never appropriate there. When in Mexico, respect the locals' sense of time and traditions. The fact is, if you naturally speak very quickly or you have a forceful or sharp tone of voice, become aware of how you are coming across.
