Yo Country - Ma Country








































Your CountryMy Country
Traffic senseResembles a REPUBLIC DAY parade where everyone follows the rule to the last word, if not then even the worst try and mimic the person in front.It's more like BARCELONA playing football, Keep looking for gaps and pass/ drive when u find one. Very important and crucial factor being EXPECTING the run of you fellow drivers while passing.
EtiquetteOvertly polite ppl with more than generous use of Excuse me, Thank You, Sorry and Bless You's.Temperamental and reserved when it comes to ppl we don't know. Show of hand is supposed to express emotions from Excuse me, Sorry, Thank You to Bless You. Depending on what's appropriate to the situation and the angle of the raised hand.
SmilePolite gesture. Preamble to interaction.Freaky/ Shady! Tactics to avoid interaction in most cases. Refer THIS
PedestriansAlways a priority even higher than traffic lights and rules.Roadkill.
WARAny conflict across the world --> Govt insists on it: Ppl don't. Conflict involving self with neighbor --> Ppl insist on it: Govt doesn't.
