Useful Hints for non-mexican readers.

Probably you, english language reader, have found some references to mexican living and culture which don't fit to the common patterns in anglo-saxon countries. Here's a brief guide of some mexican usings quoted in YCC. Any help to improve this guide -questions and/or suggestions- will be highly appreciated.

GIVEN NAMES

Here in Mexico, birth given names are composed by three parts, instead of two as used in the USA: the given name, the father's family name and the mother's family name. In example, the full name of our main heroine is "Milagros Tuchmetztli Vallejo".
On the other hand, for practically purposes, normally people is quoted in the American way. this is, only the Given name and the Father's family name.
For married woman, it was used that the mother's family name was replaced by the husband's family name, adding the word "de" (of) in between. In example, if Milagros married Donají, her married name would be "Milagros Tuchmetztli de De la Paz".
But this last using is quickly being dropped. Nowadays, married women prefer to keep their single's names.

SCHOOL SYSTEM

The school grades system is also different in Mexico to that used in the USA: Here are four studying levels (Indicated in parenthesis its most approximated USA level, scheduled lenght of studies without repeating years, average age of students, and "obligatoriship status"):

PRE-PRIMARIA (Kindergarden, 1 or 2 years, 4-6 y.o., Optional).
PRIMARIA (Elementary School, 6 years, 6-12 y.o., Obligatory by law).
SECUNDARIA (Junior High School, 3 years, 12-15 y.o., Obligatory by law).
PREPARATORIA (High School, 3 years, 15-18 y.o., Optional, but already demanded as a minimal for most jobs).
UNIVERSIDAD (College-University, 6 years, 18-24 y.o., Optional).

FAMILY - PREHISPANIC "GRAVEYARD"

Here in Mexico, family life has different roots than most of anglo-saxon countries. Here, isn't weird that people leave their parents' home until finishing studies, or getting married. Is even a fact more common than in other countries, that married couples live with the family of one of them.
Probably this has a lot to do with our prehispanic heritage. Even when Mexico is coveted as a "chauvinistic" country, most of the Prehispanic Gods' Kingdoms were ruled by couples, and single Gods are a rarity.
Sorry, maybe I've already placed a huge spoiler, but this is gonna be a deep difference between YCC and Sailor Moon.

GODFATHERSHIP

When a kid get's his/her first name through the catholic ritual, two adults (most commonly a married couple, but not necessarily, are appointed by the parents as "Godparents". This relationship is a really in-depth one in mexican society, since Godfathers take the compromise of taking care of the child if his/her parents die. A "Compadrazgo" (Godfathership) is a deep honor all adults involved, since they recognize each other as "quite more than friends".
