"Bribery will take you where you need to go in Mexico. Welcome to our turd wurld neighbors... er, open border trading partners."
Six years ago I went to Mexico City for the company I was working for at the time. What an eye opener. The company had a guy on retainer that did nothing but accompany us everywhere we went to pay bribes (the bite). As an American you could find yourself in a world of hurt if the proper bribes were not paid. My experience compells me to believe that Mexico has a ways to go before it can be elevated to turd world status.
Yup. That's the way it's done. It's just the way it's done.
Ain't multiculturalism great?
