Water and other important matters...

My quick trip to Mexico is now complete. It was an interesting, energizing and at times, depressing week.

Here are a few items that I thought were worth mentioning:

1. Not even Mexicans drink their water- everyone gets 4 -5 large multi-gallon water bottles delivered a few times a week. AND, it's not just that the water isn't "drinkable" it's not all that plentiful. Showers are a trickle, toliets are flushed "judiciously". Any company looking to do business in Mexico needs to understand this.

2.Education-as I suspected most Mexicans have somewhere between a Primary and High School education.

3. Baseball seems to be as popular as soccer- "football"- at least in the city I was in

  1. Your trip sounds to be an enlighting one. I only know Mexico from a resort perspective - plenty of bottled drinking water, full showers & toilets are a plenty.
