There
are many points of similarities about romance
between the United States and Mexico in the areas
of special dinners, gifts, and music. A special
dinner is considered romantic in both Mexico and in
the United States. A special dinner in the United
States is going to an expensive, five-star
restaurant. However, in Mexico, a special dinner is
when the food is homemade. The table has to have
candles.
Another
similarity they share is gifts. American people
consider it very romantic to give a present to the
person they love. Some of those gifts are red
roses, chocolates, and a diamond ring.
In
Mexico it is also very romantic to give presents,
but in Mexico it is more romantic to give red roses
than any other presents.
Finally,
the United States and Mexico also agree that music
is one of the ways a person can show romanticism.
In the United States turning on the radio and
listening to soft music is considered romantic
since it has a slow rhythm and the words of the
songs are very nice. In Mexico soft music is also
considered very romantic. However, in Mexico to
turn on the radio and listen to music is not
enough. Mexico is more romantic because men
serenade their loves singing those soft songs in
person.
In
conclusion, although both countries have many
points of similarities about romance, Mexico is
more romantic because Mexican people show their
romanticism by doing the things by
themselves.
