Colourful Mexico

In Mexico, the formal way of greeting each other is by shaking hands. When people meet for the first time, they usually shake hands and say “Mucho gusto”. This is a polite way of saying ‘Nice to meet you’. Close friends and family members hug and kiss on the cheek. A less formal way, to greet people who know each other, is to simply say, ‘Hola’. An informal greeting ‘¡Qué onda!’, is very popular between young people. It means ‘What’s up?’.
In Mexico, there are beaches, mountains, deserts, volcanoes and forests. Usually the weather in Mexico is hot and humid. The rainy season is from May to October.

The most popular material for clothes is cotton. Traditionally, men wear trousers, a shirt or a t-shirt and sandals called ‘huraches’. Women usually wear a skirt and a blouse. A sombrero is a well-known Mexican hat. People wear it to protect themselves from the sun.

A Traditional Mexican fiesta is a festival that celebrates a holiday, such as ‘Cinco de Mayo’. People usually celebrate with fireworks, traditional clothing, music, dancing and food.

For thousands of years, Mexico’s Indians were the only people who lived in Mexico. In the 15th Century, some people from Spain came to live on the same land. Later on, the land was named Mexico.
