Learn Spanish and Go, episodio 64: Choques culturales en las calles de México

Culture Shocks in the Streets of Mexico

ByJim

In this episode, we take a look at some of the culture shocks of experiencing Mexico as a foreigner when it comes to observing life from the streets. Learn about topes, pedestrian right of way, J-walking, and much more.

Not all culture shocks are bad. They can be uncomfortable, or pose an inconvenience, but they’re ultimately part of what makes travel interesting. Being surprised by something new gives us the opportunity to see the world through another lens, and reflect on who we are as individuals.

In the breakdown section of this episode, I mentioned I’d include the picture with the random burro May and I found on the street in Colima, Mexico while on our way to a Kiosko (pictured to the right of me in the background). Well, here it is. 😆
