One thing i was thinking about on the bus down here to the islands- asian traffic.
I won't at all try to dance around the fact that traffic in Tokyo is bad, and that traffic in Bangkok is downright intolerable. I guess the fact that tuk-tuk drivers in Bangkok create the nebulous third lane at a whim is ok, if you can get past the fact that it isn't at all. Calm down, Turbo. And the motorbikes don't adhere to any lane system at all, adding more mess to a huge mess. But there's one thing i have to hand to the Thais and Japanese (don't know yet about the other asian countries), and that is that when the light turns red, there's a countdown flashing next to it telling you exactly how long you have to wait to go. Genius! Can you imagine how many road-rage deaths that would prevent in the US each year? Are you with me?
