Could I get some transmexican tips?

(oh no, i can't hide behind anon 😭)

Sorry for the wait, I've been busy... slacking.....

Here ya go. Mexican tips masterlist.

Of course, learn basic Spanish phrases...

Spanish Tips

Use usted with elders instead of tú

Learn filler words

Practice Mexican slang carefully

Recognize accents. (north = clearer, center. coast = almost musical in rhythm.)

Don't overuse "gringo Spanish" like aye caramba

Learn how Mexicans indirectly say no (“Déjame ver,” “Luego te aviso,” “Ahorita.”)

Understand “ahorita” can mean 2 minutes… or never depending on tone.

Do not speak bluntly, politeness is valued

Try code-switching

Etiquette

Greet everybody with a handshake or cheek kiss

Bring small gifts when visiting people (often edible)

Be comfortable asking and answering personal questions, they come up often

Let elders eat and greet first

Always accept food and drink, even just a little

Family comes first

Don't interrupt

Teasing = affection

Keep humor in your words

Avoid criticizing Mexico if you are not Mexican

Food Culture

Learn regional foods. Tacos are different everywhere.

Eat with your hands for tacos

Don't overload tortillas... please

Try spicy foods gradually. "No pica" may still be spicy

Salsa colors mean nothing... green can be hotter than red

Try aguas frescas

Don't call Tex-Mex Mexican food

Learn eating schedule. Big lunch at 2-4 PM, late dinner

Learn how to POLITELY order street food/food in general

Traditions

Dia de Muertos is NOT horror- its remembrance!

Learn the meaning of marigolds and ofrendas

Respect the Virgin of Guadalupe as a national symbol

Respect Catholic Influence (even if you arent religious)

Experience posadas during Christmas

Learn MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY (Sep 16), not Cinco de Mayo

Listen to traditional bands (such as mariachi) to help you understand emotional culture

Dance cumbia, salsa, and banda socially. You dont have to be perfect.

Respect indigenous culture. Mexico is not only Mestizo.

Learn regional identities (Yucatec Maya, Oaxacan, Norteño, etc)

Lifestyle

Mexicans are generally night people. Parties and events run late

Time is flexible (be patient when learning the time rules...)

Be expressive when talking. Hand gestures matter

Use cash

Learn public transport etiquette

Be respectful to the national anthem and flag. Patriotism is high

Avoid overly formal clothing

Show loyalty to your friends

Bring snacks to share at school or work

Mindset

Value community over individualism

Be humble

Understand tragic humor (dark humor)

Don't flaunt your wealth

Learn the concept of compadre/comadre (deep social bonds)

Understand colorism issues

Support small and local vendors

Do not haggle artisans

Learn a bit of indigenous vocabulary

Be patient.

Love ya, and good luck.

OK GUYS SO JSYK ONE TIME ANOTHER RADQUEER TUMBLR USER MADE A RADQUEER FORUM ON THIS EXACT SITE SO JUST FOR EVERYONES INFORMATION THIS WEBSITE LOOKS AT EVERYONES IP ADDRESSES AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION IT CAN FIND ABOUT THE PERSON VISITING THE SITE + OWNERS OF A FORUM CAN EASILY SEE THE MEMBERS IP ADRESSES

Not trying to push people off this forum and not trying to make op look bad, im just putting this information out there ^^

[australopthicus]

lol yeah, every website you visit can see your ip address and owners of sites can see them. your ip address doesnt mean much anyways haha but i appreciate the concern

[bluemoonsystemrq]

Unlike tumblr we believe you can actually use a VPN on sites like this without getting banned (tumblr just...catches them in a spam filter iwrc), for anyone that is still concerned about ip addresses. The problem with that is you have to trust the VPN you are using because they're effectively doing what your ISP normally does.

So yeah OP is right all websites see your IP address, here's information on that kind of stuff from a quick search:

What Is a VPN, and Why Would I Need One?

Do you need a VPN to be safe on the internet?

[australopthicus]

yeah. Really the only issue youd think with this would actually be that using a VPN lets people get around bans haha (but they can be dealt with pretty easily anyways...) Not beating a dead horse anymore. Go join the forum guys! :3
