1. In your opinion, what's the weirdest fact of the U.K. and Why?
17
HONESTLY, I DON'T LIKE THE SUN TOO MUCH AND IT HURTS ME
A BIT MORE IN GENERAL SO THE FACT THAT IN THE BRITISH
CULTURE THEY LOVE SUNNY DAYS BECAUSE THERE IS NONE
AND THEY PREFER TANNED SKIN FOR ME IS WEIRD JUST
BECAUSE I LIKE THE OPPOSITE, ALTHOUGH MAYBE THEY ARE
TIRED OF THE SAME WEATHER BUT I DON'T KNOW.
33
IT IS VERY STRANGE THAT THEY DRIVE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND
WALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY.
49
WHEN I HEARD THAT IT MADE ME LAUGH BECAUSE IT'S WEIRD
THAT THEY WANT TO AVOID SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE
BEING LET'S SAY WEIRD AND MORE UNCOMFORTABLE IN THAT
KIND OF SITUATIONS.
2. How much similar is the british culture compared to the american
and/or the mexican one? (Justify your answer)
5
THE KISSING GREETING AT LEAST IN MEXICO IS VERY COMMON I
THINK MOST PEOPLE LEAVE LIKE THAT EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE
LIKE TEACHERS MAYBE IMPORTANT PEOPLE OR BETWEEN MEN
AND MEN USUALLY THE GREETING IS WITH THE HAND
16
SINCERELY I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT AMERICAN CULTURE
BUT I THINK I CAN SAY THAT AT LEAST IN MEXICO THERE ARE
ALSO PEOPLE WHO ARE GOOD DRIVERS AND KIND AND THOSE
WHO ARE NOT, IF I HAVE SEEN THAT PEOPLE SAY THANK YOU
WITH A CERTAIN SIGN WHEN DRIVING THEN I THINK IT IS
SOMETHING LIKE THAT
23
I THINK THAT ALSO IN ALMOST ALL COUNTRIES IT HAS BECOME
A HABIT TO ASK HOW ARE YOU AND WAIT FOR THEM TO SAY,
"AH I'M FINE" OR TO AUTOMATICALLY SAY THAT WE ARE FINE,
EVEN IF WE ARE NOT.
45
IN MEXICO MOST PEOPLE HAVE THE HABIT OF TIPPING THE
WAITERS AND THERE ARE ALSO SOME PLACES THAT ALREADY
INCLUDE IT IN THE BILL OR ASK YOU TO GIVE IT ON THE SIDE
ALTHOUGH IT IS A MINORITY THAT DOES NOT DO IT, I THINK IT
IS SOMETHING IN COMMON.

3. What fact was sort of surprising for you and why?

8
I THINK I AM NOT SURPRISED AS THE RULE SO TO SPEAK, WHAT
SURPRISES ME IS HOW STRICT THEY ARE TO COMPLY WITH THIS
RULE THAT ACTUALLY I LIKE MORE THAN WHAT SURPRISES ME
BECAUSE IN MEXICO THIS RULE IS ALSO THERE, BUT REALLY
ALMOST NEVER FULFILLED
13
I FIND IT SURPRISING AND A LITTLE FUNNY THE LOVE THEY
HAVE FOR SUNNY DAYS AND THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING
SPECIFIC TO DO ON THOSE DAYS.
28
THE TRUTH WHAT SURPRISES ME IS HOW FAST IT GETS DARK
BECAUSE HERE IN MEXICO WE COMPLAIN THAT IN WINTER IT
GETS DARK AT ABOUT 6/7 BUT IN ENGLAND IT GETS DARK MUCH
EARLIER I DON'T KNOW I FEEL THAT KNOWING THIS I SHOULDN'T
BE BOTHERED.
35
I THINK IT SURPRISES ME BECAUSE IN GENERAL IN MANY
COUNTRIES CHILDREN LEAVE UNTIL THEY GET MARRIED, THERE
ARE NOT MANY COUNTRIES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE CUSTOM IN
THIS COUNTRY I THINK THAT MORE THAN SURPRISE I WOULD
NOT LIKE TO BECOME INDEPENDENT SO FAST AT LEAST IN MY
CASE.
