Guatemalans are generous, warm, polite, and humble. They value honesty, family unity, personal honor, work, and education. Optimism is less common than the acceptance of misfortune. People often believe they are unable to change their condition, either for lack of empowerment or because some things are God's will. Personal criticism, taken seriously, should be avoided. Punctuality is admired but not strictly observed; people are considered more important than schedules. This manner of keeping time is referred to as la hora chapina (the Guatemalan hour). Guatemalans are gracious, love to make jokes of almost any situation, and strive to make any social interaction comfortable. The phrase No tenga pena (Don't worry) is commonly used to set others at ease.
Family status and wealth are important to ladinos. Many consider the Maya to be inferior and uncivilized, and they avoid contact with those who do not adopt ladino ways. The Maya, who have long been subjected to discrimination and human-rights abuses, desire to be treated as equals. Maya who wear Western clothing and assimilate into ladino culture are treated somewhat better.
While the peoples of Guatemala are diverse, they have in common a desire for a tranquil life. Guatemalans are cautiously optimistic that the 1996 accord has brought peace.
Clearly, Mexico is much richer than Guatemala.

The Mexican People (or Guatemalan) don't exactly celebrate Halloween. They celebrate something similar, called Dia De Los Muertos. This is a holiday that pays respects to relatives that have passed on. The Mexican build altars with gifts to the dead, believing that on either the day for the young (Nov. 1st) or the day for the elder(Nov. 2nd), based on which one they are, they will come in the form of a monarch butterfly, and take the paid gifts. If the relatives don't find their altar and receive them, they will be very angry and haunt the people responsible. The Mexican lead large parades with large, colorful masks, some carrying coffins of recently died relatives. During the night, in rural places, citizens get together in a cemetery and spruce up graves of friends or relatives. They spend the whole night cleaning up the yard all together, though they make it more into a party rather than a large job to do. Mexicans do all this more in fear that their relatives will be angry rather than to celebrate.

The original capital city of Guatemala was Antigua. It was also called Guatemala, but in the early 1800s there were several earthquakes that caused the nearby volcano Agua to erupt. Only instead of erupting with lava it erupted a huge pocket of water flooding the entire city. Several natural disasters such as this caused the people to move the capital to a safer location in 1821. The old capital was renamed Antigua Guatemala (now called Antigua for short) and the new capital got the name Guatemala City.
