Beliefs in Mexico: Etiquette

When you arrive to a new country, you don’t always know how to greet when you meet people and it can be a little bit awkward.

In the case of mexico, the common greeting is when a woman meets other woman or a man meets a woman, they kiss on the cheek once and can be sometimes accompanied with a hug. But when a man meets another man they just shake hands.

When refering to someone who has a better position or is older than you, the appropriate term is “usted” ; if it is someone closer you can refer as “tu” which is more informal.
