Ok, no voy a adelantar nada, solo voy a poner esta delicia de conversación con algunos incisivos comentarios de mi parte. Enjoy!
00600100164: Thank you for contacting the Mexico Tourism Board. My name is Gerardo. How may I help you?
ENGLISH Visit Mexico - Chat: Can you tell me what sets mexico apart from other spanish-speaking countries?
00600100164: Of course, I will be more than glad to assist you with this. In which sense do you refer by Mexico being different from other Spanish-speaking countries?
ENGLISH Visit Mexico - Chat: Their culture
00600100164: Mexico is different from the other Spanish-speaking countries in many senses. For example, the cultural influences Mexico had has in the past are more much varied. We have had Spanish, African, and the great prehispanic cultures of the Aztecs, the Mayan and the P'urhepechas, just to name some.
00600100164: Also, in recent times, Mexico has experimented immigration from Lebanese, Chinese, Italian, Korean, Cuban.
00600100164: As well, the closeness to the United States has very much to do with the Mexican culture nowadays.
ENGLISH Visit Mexico - Chat: Are there special traditions or foods that are unique to mexico that is not found in other Spanish speaking countries?
00600100164: The Day of the Death is one of them. Unlike most western culture, Mexican culture celebrates death as part of life. One of the most popular and beautiful demonstration of this celebration takes place in Janitzio Lake, in the western central part of the country. This celebration is the first two days of November.
00600100164: This celebration can be called a syncretism between Catholic and Mexican indigenous religion.
00600100164: Excuse me madam, may I ask why do you need this information? I'm asking because is not usual that tourist make this kind of questions.
ENGLISH Visit Mexico - Chat: I am doing an indepth study of mexico for my spanish class <-----(osea... no soy Google niña, soy el Tourism Board)

00600100164: Sir, for this purpose, I recommend that you buy the book "Labyrinth of Solitude" of Octavio Paz. I suggest that you make special enphasis on the "Malinche's Children (Los Hijos de La Malinche)".
