MANNERS
Excerpt from Viva Oaxaca: People in Oaxaca really do take the time to start an exchange with "Buenos dias," (good morning), "Buenas tardes," (good afternoon), or "Buenas noches," (good evening), to which you should reply in kind. It's best to finish requests or orders with "por favor" (please) and to respond to help or service with "gracias" (thanks) or "muchas gracias," (many thanks) . . .
A friendly Oaxaqueña
