Health and safety in Mexico: an occasional column

Once in a while you see a hole in a road with a cavern below, or an improvised electrical wiring that beggars belief - usually around Christmas. Yesterday I witnessed something which nearly shocked and thrilled me, for just an instant...

I went to the loo at a restaurant in Chignahuapan about 3 hours drive east from Mexico City. While using the urinal I noticed that an electrical socket was located just above the level of the urinal. Ouch!!! I am sure you will be pleased to know that I was safely below the target.
