In Mexico, Strangers Are Friends You Haven't Met Yet
"México es encontrar un motivo para hacer comunidad, incluso entre desconocidos."

This surprised me more than anything.
I've watched complete strangers start talking in an OXXO line. At football games. Waiting for tacos. Even because it suddenly started raining.
In many countries strangers avoid eye contact.
In Mexico, strangers are simply friends you haven't met yet.
