Cultural exchange with the world: United Mexican States
Continuing the International Cultural Exchange Series, InterLOG continues to organize a series of international cultural events, with this exchange being the cultural program "United Mexican States" with many fascinating aspects.

In addition, conversing with the deceased is a special custom in Mexico, reflecting a strong belief that people can communicate with their departed loved ones. This is one of the important beliefs of the country in the North American region, often occurring at the New Year's Eve between the old and the new year.
On New Year's Eve, families and friends gather to reminisce about the past year. When the clock strikes 12, each person will eat 12 grapes, symbolizing the 12 months and 12 wishes. Additionally, unmarried girls often wear red underwear in hopes of finding a suitor, while some people walk around the house with a suitcase hoping to travel in the coming year.
It's important to note some special gestures in Mexico considered impolite, such as putting hands in pockets in public, avoiding giving yellow roses as they symbolize death in Mexican culture, being on time to appointments is considered impolite, etc.
The Independence Angel statue made of gold is a prominent symbol of Mexican culture, similar to the Statue of Liberty in the United States or Big Ben in England. This artistic work not only showcases excellent statue casting and architecture but also carries deep historical significance as it was erected to commemorate Mexico's 100 years of independence.
