Hi, Yucatecans love foreingers, they always curiuos about other cultures, places and ways of living, the problem is they hardly speak english. But this is a great opportunity to learn spanish, Being honest I have to say there is a difference between Yucatecans and people from other parts of Mexico living in Yucatan. No offense, but I rather preffer Yucatecans, they are honest, more real and they do not take adventage of you. If you go places and you like people, only takes a smile and a sincery Buenos Dias, to start a good conversation. If you ask for help they are always willing to help. just be sure they understand you. We have real good friends and we do good bussines too. If you would like to socialize a litle bit do not hesitate to contact us. (moderated: no free ads)
