Ethnography Culture

The culture of El Burrito Mercado is definitely Mexican. Pinatas twirl from the ceiling and Spanish works of art hang from the walls. The designs on the tiles behind the counter have a Hispanic look to them. As I looked closer, I notice that the design is a cross. Perhaps this is because a predominant religion in Spanish culture is Catholicism. Some of the workers have Catholic crosses dangling from their necks. In the background, a meat saw can be heard from the Deli. I remind myself to go look at it, but as usual, I forget. I'm too caught up in the wild color of the place. Yellows, oranges, and reds are splashed everywhere. In fact, the whole store itself is yellow. And outside, a Linus statue stands proudly. A sombrero is perched on Linus's head, and his blanket and clothing have been decorated. Even the tabletops at El Burrito Mercado are decorated. And the metal of the chairs has been twisted into ornate patterns. An archway marks the entrance to the Cafe, with the silhouettes of the signature El Burrito Mercado donkey pressed into it.
