Mexicans are pretty particular when it comes to greeting one another. It is not just a casual wave of the hand or a quick "Hi" from far off. If you are a man, greet another man with a handshake and another woman with a handshake or an air kiss. If you are a woman, a handshake works for both sexes.

Throwing around big tips in USA or Canada may get you faster and better service. But if you are visiting Puerto Penasco, Mexico, remember, respect and courtesy will get you better service.
