>>Get in line.<<

I really don’t think they understand the word respect. When I was in Cabo San Lucas, my group and I decided to leave the resort, and take a bus into ‘local land’. We did our ‘tourist’ thing, and got in line to get the bus back to the resort. As I was bording the bus, a Mexican male pushed me out of his way, to get in the bus ahead of me. I almost hit the ground he shoved me so hard. No one said a word, the Mexicans just kept bording the bus. My friends told me not to say anything - it was ‘their way - their country.’

I learned a lot about their culture, that day.

Personally I wouldn’t want to go to anywhere in Mexico—not even the resort/tourist areas. I wouldn’t feel safe.

What is this "bording"?

Is it a Swedish term?

I have never heard of it.

Regarding cultural ways, I have been wondering lately why there have been several incidents where truck drivers have simply disappeared when they have been involved in accidents. Someone posted that in Mexico, that is what people do to avoid the corrupt judicial system — they run from accident scenes. Hmmm. Makes me wonder if that is another cultural benefit from the illegals.
