Oh man

Alright, so I am currently in Mexico City. This place is unlike any city I have been to in my life. It is gigantic. It doesn't seem like it ends. The one thing that sticks out is the amount of cars and the bad air. There are so many cars here in is unreal. They do not even know where to put them. Cars are parked on the sidewalks, on the street and just about anywhere you can find a spot. The traffic lights use the traditional red yellow and green system, but no one seems to honor the signals. You really have to be careful when crossing the street. As someone told me, there are no rules here.

Our hotel is a nice one, big it really it is a strange location as the office we are working at is in the middle of an industrial zone outside the city. I ventured into the Polanco area of the city today, it was a nice little area. It had all sorts of designer shops and stores as well as little restaurants and bars. Every nice store had armored guards in front with semi automatic machine guns. It took almost an hour each way to get there and now I have a huge headache and feel like I smoked 6 packs of cigarettes. We are having problems getting the ENPS and proxy servers up as of now, so I am yet to do any work on upgrading the 21 clients, which is my role here. With an expected departure of Saturday morning, I think I will not sleep until then. That sucks. Lets hope Radia works.

The culture in the office is much different of course. You can smoke cigs anywhere in the office which is interesting. Also, the keyboard is much different, but that should not be a surprise. People take siestas in the afternoon and just close down shop while they do so. It also seems as if people don't start work until later in the morning.

The Treo here has been money. Full data and coverage everywhere I have been on Telcel GSM or Moviestar GSM. The Red Sox have signed Matt Mantai. Not really sure what the deal with that dude is. He had an 0 and 3 record last season with an 11 ERA and he has been plagued with shoulder injuries. But Curt says he is good, so Ill take his word. Yes, and In Theo We Trust.
