That's my home you are talking about!

Not the most exciting place on earth..... you forgot to mention it also has the world's highest fatality rate from car accidents (18.5% of total deaths). How long you here for? Off to Bangkok tonight, back on Wednesday, drop me a PM if you still here then.

They have many more cars per head in the Gulf. Parts of India seldom see a car.

I suspect India is like China .... lots of accidents but generally they are at slow speeds.
