I myself have never spent time in a Mexican bus, but did spend a memorable
evening in an overcrowded Tiajuana drunk tank, and also was on a stuffed Easter 
weekend
train in Greece with many whole skinned Easter dinner lambs stuffed in clear 
plastic
bags. I argue that they at least equal one Latin American bus trip on the
