England Through the Eyes of a Mexican American: A Journey of Discovery and Transformation

Upon arriving in England, I was immediately struck by the stark contrasts in our cultures. The reserved etiquette and politeness of the English people stood in stark contrast to the warmth and exuberance of my Mexican heritage. Yet, beneath the surface, I discovered a subtle undercurrent of humor that transcended cultural boundaries.

The English landscape, with its rolling hills and quaint villages, seemed to embody a timeless elegance. It stood in stark contrast to the vibrant colors and bustling energy of my hometown in Mexico. The stark contrast between these two worlds challenged my preconceptions and forced me to question my own cultural perspectives.

One striking difference I encountered was the role of food in our respective cultures. In Mexico, food is a central part of our social fabric, bringing people together for lively meals and celebrations. In England, on the other hand, dining seemed to be a more solitary affair, often relegated to quick meals consumed on the go.
