Its a pleasure :)

About your questions:

Mexican Latin, do u mean, language?, or the kind of life? If u mean, spanish language, is the same, just different slangs, I mean, one word or two can have different meanings, or some words are not used in another countries, but anyway, we can understand each other :D.... About Latin Way... or kind of live, we are almost the same, but as usual, each country has own roots, example Argentine person is so different of a Colombian people... Mexican people has his identity too... example, Mexican people loves spicy food, than all countries in America :D, not spicy, not food :Dand we use lot of corn in our food... differences but Latin american countries are almost the same. :D

DIa De Muertos, take pair of days, as the video said, is when dead people get back from dead side, to visit their family, they comes in order... At night Oct 30th who died in accidents, at night 31th October arrives kids who couldnt get the bautizm, 1st November come all kids, and November 2nd all people. Stay at night and go in the morning November 3rd.


Quinceañera, means, something like girl on 15th years. So family prepare a big party when daughter has her 15th birthday, now in city only takes saturday and maybe sunday morning, in some towns take 3 days celebration :D, we go to the church to say thanks to god, and girl will dance... and big cake, drink Tequila, and bla bla bla....

:D

Mexico is a place with lot of parties :P

Thank you for your words,

There are lot of nice mountains, some of them appears in the video.... in example:

Cañon del Sumidero (with river inside) in Chiapas (South part)
Barrancas del Cobre (Dry weather) in Chihuahua (North part)
Paricutín in Michoacan (Centre)
Ajusco - Near Mexico City
Nevado de Toluca - Mexico State (Near Mexico City)

Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl (Volcanoes) Between Morelos, Puebla and Mexico state. - Here, we have a nice Aztek legend:
The tale that when the Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlán, today's Mexico City. The chief of the Aztecs had a beautiful daughter named Iztaccíhuatl.

The people were enchanted with Izta and her parents prepared her to someday be the Empress of the Aztecs. Izta grew up and fell in love with a captain of a tribe named Popocatépetl or Popoca. Popoca asked for the Emperor's permission to marry his daughter and he agreed to the arrangement under one condition, Popoca had to bring the head of the enemy chief back from the war, in order to marry his daughter.

Popoca went off to fulfill his destiny. Several months passed and An adversary of Popoca sent a false message back to Izta that her loved one had died in battle. When Izta heard her lover's fate she was overcome overcome by the news, refused to eat and died of grief.

Popoca returned victorious, bannerbut upon hearing of Izta's passing,he could not be consoled. He carried his beloved to the mountains and put her down to rest, then plunged a dagger in his broken heart. The gods covered them with snow and changed them into famous peaks in Mexico. Together in eternity are Iztaccíhuatl's mountain "La Mujer Dormida" (Sleeping Woman), and Popocatépetl's volcano, still active today raining fire on Earth in blind rage at the loss of his beloved.



I hope u enjoy..
