well im working on a project in durango mexico. the culture shock is massive.if you happen to travel outide the usa make sure you know the language before you go.luckly
im picking it up after having it blasted in my brain 24-7.the project im on is a power plant they are building here .it is about the worst conditions possible.mix the 4 following movies together and you will get the picture. slumdong millioniare
the basic trash in the streets and general poverty. scarface as the drug lords run this bitch..this is there place and you just may end up dead if cought missing around
the tom hanks movie in the airport.he has to learn the language as he goes..each day
caddy shack ..for the have and have nots..the hotel people here make about 13 bucks a day.stripes for the scene where bill murray said..have some more worthless money!
friday for the street game going on here ..everyone is on the hustle here..i feel as though im doing time in jail.the job site is an osha nightmare.they dont have any rules for saftey bieng 1 of two americans on this job its just unreal the lack of safty for the worker in this place.no scaffold crews.they build it out of wood..no
saftey program.they only have an ambulance to cart off the injured.workers free climbing without and harness protection 200 ft in the air..we did a dc votage test
with 100k volts. where we simulate the working load on the unit..the head mexican guy
send two workers into the unit below us..if not stopped they were french fries.the tools needed for this job have bene stolen 2 times..so its one step forward 5 back..yesterday they wanted to check welds with raidiation an x ray if you will
to see if the welds are good. they tell us its ok they have a special unit that stops
70 perc of the radiation..thats funny we say we dont have that in the u.s.so a big problem starts..the hancho from the plant says mexican workers still work ..you go back to work..we say through an interpitor. no way hose..you want your balls to glow you go right ahead..we go to the casa..house..in the u.s. this place would be shut down in a hartbeat. problem i have is they dont tell their men..basicly giving them no chance to live thier lives after 30 years..from now.it goes on and on..any way
we will get done sooner or later..im pretty sure the gringos will be sent home as we have way to many rules..god forbid..i miss the simplicity of hrtv and a drf..
hooves.....
