A Backwards City

The streets of Mexico City are crowded, curvy, pot-holed, and more often than not blocked by an assortment of brightly colored Volkswagon bugs. As part of our scouting trip, Kashmir and I went to visit the International AIDS Society office, which was behind us on a one-way street. So rather than go around the block and then back up the street in the correct direction, our driver decided to reverse the entire length of the road, saying "it's okay as long as the car is facing the right way." Um, but what about moving (very quickly) in the wrong direction?!
