Two Worlds United Programs in Mexico for High School students
Although
Mexico shares the North American continent, its heritage is more
properly part of Central and South America to the south. Because
it was Spain's wealthiest colony in the Americas, Mexico has an
architectural richness that vies with Europe. As the land of
great Native American civilizations, it offers ruins as
fascinating as, if less familiar than, those in Greece. And as a
modern
nation, its distinctive culture, involving an enchanting
blend of the Aztecs music, dance, cuisine,
handicrafts and arts, is unparalleled.
Much of Mexico comes as a delightful surprise to the students—especially the friendliness of its people, the
excellence of its nature, and the rich ancient culture Travel becomes easier each year as Mexico opens new roads to
formerly isolated villages and builds modern airports where
thatched-roof structures once stood.
You'll be rewarded if you learn a few simple phrases in
Spanish, such as gracias ("thank you") or de
nada (as in "you're welcome"). A little
understanding of the country's ancient and modern cultures will
go a long way toward helping you comprehend the people and their
customs. |
