A Melting Pot of Cultures. Think of taking different colors and blending them. Each can be very distinctive in its own right but when blended everything comes out a new and beautiful color that you might not have expected.
Maybe not what most think of as a Melting Pot, but it gives you the idea.
Go to the local "Happy Wok" here in Mexico and ask them if they speak Chinese, and they usually do. At the same time, much like my family, they have a basic understanding of Spanish.
On the upside they usually know more English, than Spanish.
But there are also other cultures.
Notice how many Japanese companies are moving their people here. Honda and Nissan for example have moved Japanese personnel here for 6 months to 5 year stints. This adds to the tourist industry. Here in Guanajuato, I met a Japanese couple who know more about Mexico than most Mexicans.
And still other cultures.
Germans are a small but growing population. Russians, Koreans, Americans, Canadians, all mixed up in this big Mexican Pot.
