Yes, it's true. Most Mexicans drive like crazy. And if you want to get somewhere, you have to adapt to their way of driving. At Volkswagen they have courses for those Germans who have been working here for 3 or 4 years and are about to return: the repatriats (some know the expression). You know what they teach them? Well, besides other things that in Germany there are rules for driving!
But honestly driving here is not as bad as it sounds. You get used to it very quickly. You just have to take care a bit more and think for the driver next to you or in front of to you.
During my first week here only one of the interns and one of the trainees had an accident...;-)
A bit more than impressions of my stay in Mexico
El viejo... y el mar
Tengo un barco de papel...
Está hecho de una página
en la que escribí mis ilusiones.
No tiene anclas ni tiene amarras.
Quiero navegar en él,
de los siete mares; en el octavo,
donde sé, encallaré en el puerto anhelado.
¿... ha visto alquien brillar la luz de su faro?
What's next...
Sailing in Croatia
Trip to Hamburg

Yes, 4 interns share a car here. We have a Yetta (called Bora in Germany). Indeed it's a bit dangerous and expensive if you have an accident. You have to pay up to 10000 pesos (about 800€) if you have an accident. The rest is paid by Volkswagen it it's more.
