to guerero Prvince in Mexico ( the inland,mountainous bit) for a bit of work - anyone got any advice?
-
Stay hydrated (don't drink the local water without it being boiled first!!!!!) , and bring plenty of ammunition , no such thing as too much fire power.

Bringing weapons and ammunition into Mexico can get you tossed into a cell and held under Mexico's archaic Napoleonic legal system; simply put, guilty until proven innocent.
On 17 April, a Texas truck driver was busted on the wrong side of the Rio Grande in Juarez and snagged with 268,000 rounds of HP rifle ammo. Claims he made a wrong turn on his way to an El Paso TX medical supply warehouse. Sure he was. . .
He remains in a max security prison in Veracruz, 200 miles east of Mexico City. As yet, not charged but being held incommunicado.
Of course, there are exceptions [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
The State of Guerrero has been a personal destination a few times. I have never had problems drinking the agua in Acapulco, Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo. Or for that matter, in nearby Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara, State of Jalisco . At least I don't recall the water causing a gastrointestinal concern when properly blended with some of the local liqueurs.
Take care, Tony.

Soo...maybe that's the reason for the memory lapse [smiley=beerchug.gif] D2

If BB is going for 'work', I'm sure he's 'packing heat' !!!!! ;) ;) ;)
-
Why does one need to pack heat into Mexico, isn't it hot enough as it is? Someone needs to pack some cool down there... lots of cool. Any suggestions [smiley=beatnik.gif] D2

BB is involved in undercover 'police' work in Indonesia, 'work' usually involves apprehension of, and or 'elimination' of 'suspects' .
'Packing heat' is a slang term for carrying firearms on your person .
Living in close proximity to the Mexican border, a lot of residents of southern/central Aridzona, 'pack heat' all the time, myself included .
You can open or conceal carry a firearm on your person legally in Aridzona, as long as you're not a convicted felon, or such, only restrictions are , schools, banks (duh), and governmental buildings .

... only restrictions are , schools, banks (duh), and governmental buildings.
And in Tejas, You cannot carry into a business that generates 51% or more of it's income from sales of alcoholic beverages.
Go figure. ::)

I know, I was trying to be metaphorical, in that the crime, drugs and human trafficking and the apparent legions of willing murderers is terrible. I wish Bali well and want him to return home safely. Last time I was out in Tucson visiting my sister, a well know rancher was shot to death on his property. Maine has similar firearm carry laws. I like to have the security of some heat close at hand.

Guys, thanks for the concern etc. I will not be packing head, cool or even lukewarm! but I will be using my brain!

Soldiers in the Brit army, originally from Nepal. Not to be confused with small green pickled cucumbers!

and here is the view from my office.....
An interesting place , I can't be too specific about where exactly I am, or what exactly I'm doing. Needless to say, last month there were 3 kidnappings( we got them back after 3 days) and some local 'narco'guys had a bit of an altercation which resulted in the losing side being decapitated and the bits left at the bus station in the nearest town. Tings are indeed interesting here.
Wonderfully mild weather and the food is excellent!
