I said the same thing when I went to Chuiahua (sp) for Ford. I considered renting a car, but decided that I would use the travel reimbursement to pay for taxis everywere I needed to go (not many places, airport-hotel-plant-airport). Boy was I glad I did that when I was in the taxi when I first got in.
I also noticed that every driveway, no matter how small, had a tall gate with bars to close it. And not a single person working at the plant drove a car newer than 5-10 years (and those were the engineers).
We went out for dinner one night, and the Canadian and I were especially careful about getting the runs. Well, at least I was. Bottled water, no ice, etc. etc. for both of us. Except he ate the white/pink rice that came with everyone's dinner. Just him. He looked pretty green the next morning at breakfast. Because cooked rice is rinsed before serving. Sucka.
