Some time ago, I promised to write about Mexican men and women and their rolls. Or should I better say: how they behave in public?
As Mexico is a very catholic country, you can find the classical roles of men and women in society: he goes out to work, she stays at home to look for the children and the house. Although things are changing here as well, at least those who don't study marry and have children early.What else? If something like that exists, the "typical" Mexican guy is someone between a macho and a caballero (gentleman). Opening the door for a woman and similar things are very common. At the same time you hardly find a Mexican who doesn't say that women can't drive and many more things I don't want to mention here. And how to describe the "typical" Mexican woman? According to Tiziano Ferro they all have a moustache;-) (I guess that was a great publicity gag. And it worked!). Well, without being mean I think I can say that there are more beautiful than intelligent Mexican girls/ women (Of course there are exceptions and one doesn't exclude the other).

Hey! I am still waiting for may last comment to be published! Or is it kept back due to the guesses I made concerning the test? I won, did I??
Greeting,

You are waiting like everybody else who made guesses or even did some research. I thought that had become clear! I'm still waiting for some more people to send their answers. But don't worry, I'll puplish the solution in a few days anyway.
I think you meant "roles" :-)
"Rolls" make me think more of spring rolls, or rolled up pancakes.
I'm such a language maniac, am I not? Maybe I was a mean teacher in a previous life, you never know.
You are right! I think I can't speak English any more.
But one question: Why doesn't the "language manic" have a trial on my little vocabulary test?
