As brother Iver mentions, Mexican culture tends to invade personal space because we are very friendly and sometimes that space during transport is seen as something very normal.

Personally, when I travel alone I usually bring that mentioned mask of no emotions.
I will tell you a little experience of misunderstanding
Recently a new girl joined us she is American and just greet her as we all kissed each other on the cheek here in Mexico,so she was impressed by what I did and clearly felt invaded ,so when the others arrived they greeted her with the same way ,she did it and understood that it was very normal.
How can I apply as a teacher?
We are aware that we all have our own bubbles just like our students.
When it is the first day of classes no one speaks or only know each other but as they go together they allow them to approach areas but when someone approaches their intimate zone they can be offended and start a fight we can talk with the kids to avoid these misunderstandings .
For me it would be important to teach a little about different cultures and customs or that even students from other cultures would explain a little about them.
