Mexico welcomes millions of foreign visitors every year, and most go home with stories of beaches, food and warmth. A few go home with stories of a fine, a missed connection, a confiscated item or a misunderstanding that could have been avoided. This book is for the traveler who wants to be in the first group.
Mexico Survival Guide is a practical and cultural handbook for American and Canadian travelers. It covers what attraction guides usually leave out: how to arrive, how to ask, how to pay, how to behave, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Inside you will find:
37 short chapters to read on a flight or keep open in a taxi
Six composite travelers whose small mistakes show how the rules work in real life
Greetings, distance and the art of asking, in a country where courtesy comes before the request
Money, tipping, safety without panic, and the quiet scams
Emergencies, lost documents, accidents and insurance
Cities, nature, festivals and regional food
Procedures in full, a phrasebook, a packing and emergency sheet, and pocket cards for six cities
The tone is direct, polite and realistic. Mexico is not treated as a danger or as a postcard, but as a country with its own rules, manners and pace.
By Sergio Fonseca Iannini, international attorney, journalist and writer. Vol. IV of the series Mexican Culture for North Americans.
