India

India and Latin countries are different in many ways, but they share several similarities. One good and obvious example is such the importance of proper greeting. When greeting each other or even saying goodbye, both cultures have a tendency to show respect by kissing each other on both cheeks especially the females. Males, on the other hand, just stick to the normal hand shaking and sometimes throw in a hug. Another similarity between the two cultures is the importance of family values such as companionship, close sibling and parental relationships, and education. Families in both cultures have multiple children ranging from five to seven kids thus leading to a closer relationship to each other than American families. I guess both cultures just do not know when to stop producing! India is the second largest country in the world next to China while Mexico City is the largest city in the world. Another similarity in both cultures is the same taste in food. Both cultures love to eat spicy food and rice!

Rice... my favorite food! However, would you be surprised if I told you that only Mexicans and Guatemalans eat spicy food?
