Before coming over to the US, I read that here "Bigger is better"... I don't know what all they meant; but at least one look at the surroundings will tell you that the travel kit was spot on...
Almost everyone has an automobile here (I refuse to say cars); necessitated by the fact that public transport is a word that is quite unheard of in these parts... they come in all sizes... ranging from XL to XXXXL... You see; bigger is better. There are a host of SUVs around and then there are the trucks; monster utility kind of pick-ups. And yeah! People even drive these to office. That pic there. You see what I mean? It sounds even wierder on this day, a day google has gone black as a message to conserve energy.
Anyway... another thing out here is everyone's preference for automatic gears. It is difficult to find manual transmissions out here. I personally feel that automatics take half the fun out of driving. I mean, you should be able to shift down & rev a bit if you want. But then, it is a matter of perception.
Okay!! Where am I? I think I've lost it. Time to stop this blog then. I have no clue where this one is going. :)
