Funny. I think I remember a Penthouse article devoted to the endangered Finnish beaver.

How do we get the modern educational establishment to encourage learning, instead of discouraging it?

Re: Driving in India

When I was there a few weeks ago, the taxi driver said that you need three things to drive in India: good brakes, good horn, and good luck.

The traffic shown in the video is actually very mild.

On India Driving:

I got news for you. In most of the world (outside of the US/Canada, western Europe, Australia/NZ, Singapore, Japan, and maybe a few other places), that's normal traffic flow, if somewhat on the light side. Lanes in the road are merely suggestions, as are regulatory signs and signals, and all manner of vehicles and pedestrians use the roads at the same time. If you want to turn, you turn. Never mind the oncoming traffic; they'll stop. It's frightening the first few times, but you get used to it. The real danger is keeping those habits after returning to a place where moves like that are unexpected and traffic laws are enforced.

What waltj said. You should have seen some of the stuff I saw Korea.

Frightenly, I lived in a small town in New Jersey with a large Korean immigrant population and saw some of the same things.

Heh.

Yes, I know well the driving problems that have been imported from Korea. Police, among themselves, call it DWO.
