Hola.
This is the security team. We were looking for a nice photo of us but this is the best we could come up with:
.JPG)
We are Amy June (Hong Kong), Gary Halpin (Ireland), Barbara Danzl (the Alps), Kenji Matsuzawa (Japan), and Chandru Kavichandran (India) - brought together by the IBM CSC program to try to make Mexico a more secure place. Of course, we did not realise that we would be doing that for Queretaro, one of the safest regions in Mexico. We feel more safe here than we do in our own countries. Particularly from the Control Room of the Department of Public Safety (called C4, like the explosive) where we can watch operators examine all of the city through cameras.
Mexico is a slightly different place to work than our own countries. Everybody is very nice. Much more polite than they are in our own countries. We're going to have major readjustment issues when we get back to our own cultures and start barking at people again instead of wondering how they are feeling at all times. Almost every conversation ends in a reassuring hug.
And as for the food... We may need bigger baggage allowances because everything is fried and delicious. We no longer remember what fruit looks like. We are living off Vitamin T (tacos, tortillas and the occasional tequila (especially tea-total Amy Junio)).
We're also doing work too... but we'll save that for another blog.
