Driving in Dhaka

After a brief analysis of the situation I have realized some important things about driving in the big D. Firstly as most of you know from the pictures of my last visit, we have lanes that are there for decorations’ sake. Secondly the big difference between in America and here is that in America we drive way ahead of us, where as here people drive with only the next few feet in mind.

What I mean is that when I drive in Atlanta, I’m constantly thinking what will happened when I reach the point 250+ feet ahead. But here that distance is down to a few feet at best. This causes the insane amount of sharp turns and hard breaks. I know people say that I drive bad, but people here are just crazy. I think you can’t drive if you aren’t crazy and pissed off. :P
