1)Difference between Mexican culture and French culture.

I think the most important difference of Mexican culture with the others is that our gastronomy is very spicy and flavored, and it is also served in big amounts, but in the case of France the amounts are very small, that is why they called it "le petite cuisine".

2)Problem experienced by cross-cultural differences.

When I was in Europe in my tour were two guys from Honduras and even they also speak Spanish we didn´t have the same words for some things. An example of this is the word "camión", we can use it to talk about the trucks that transport goods or for the public transports, but they to talk about the public transport they say "bus".

3)Example for each category:
*Communication Styles: When you say something it may mean different.
Example: "cajeta" Mexican sweet cream       "cajeta" bad word in Argentina

*Decision-making styles: We have many different ideas and it is very difficult to get an agreement.

*Approaches to completing tasks: Sometimes Mexicans leave things at last, but the Corean people do it with time in order to do it well.


What do I´ve learned?
I´ve learned that in each part of the world we all have our own characteristics that make us who we are and that build every day our culture.
