Motorcyclists there still dont wear helmets (in fact, you'd look like a fool if you did) and seeing 4 people on a motorcycle is not uncommon. Yes, I know we've all seen this in some rural parts of Malaysia or Thailand but hey, I'm talking about this happening in the city center, main financial district.. The other noticeable difference are the power lines running along streets...we used to have our power lines, telephone lines and all sorts of cables hanging and dangling hapharzardly....its like that there. ..and of course they drive on the other side of the road.To a certain extend....Its like how we were 30 years ago.Yes, we've come a long way! ..and be appreciative of what we've achieved!</blockquote>
