Well well, here we are in Mexico, Oaxaca to be precise… found some leftover time to get on the internet for a while. 8 pesos for an hour (24 BEF, about half a euro, not bad).
So I learned new stuff about Mexico…
Traffic rules.
1) License plates are totally unnecessary.
2) Traffic lights
- Cars/Buses/… :
* Green: Drive!
* Orange: Drive, use horn if needed
* Red: Drive, use horn excessively
- Pedestrians: There are no lights, run for your life or get roadkilled.
3) There are no further rules.
Cop rules:
Speed limit 95km/h. Drive 90km/h. Get pulled over by cops saying you were driving 100km/h. Get fined for 1500 pesos. Give cops 300 pesos to put in their pocket, fine gets shredded. Mexico is [b]NOT[/b] corrupt.
Table rules:
Hang on to your plate, fork, knife, spoon, glass, bottle, food, whatever, or they take it away from you if you’re not touching it for 10 seconds. They seem to think they’re polite, I seem to think it’s extremely rude.
All in all, it’s ok for vacation, but not to live here … We’re having great fun though
See you in a few days when I get home!
