> [@niraj](#): > > my uncle came to the US from india and rented a car… :jailbreak Yep. He has a license 😛 My cousin came to America and has rented cars, used his manager’s cars, and is currently in the market for a new car. He’s looking at a Toyota Avalon. He’s most likely purchasing tommorow. edit:/ By the way, you might want to know that he didn’t just use his license, he got training in India for 2 weeks or so on driving on the right side of the road. He then obtained an int’l drivers license that’s good anywhere in the world. ---

Isn’t driving in another county the same thing just opposite? or are the signs different? ---

In India, almost all cars are right-hand drives, the right lane is the fast lane and the slow lane is the left one. I’ve always wondered, just how do you guys shift gears with your right hand. 😛 ---

Right’s the slow lane because all the exits are (normally) on the right. ---

> [@jaya](#): > > :lol: > no boy, you are living in which world? > I m talking of real traffic too. Bangalore is the most developed and a cosmopolitian city in India Yea right! The only two good things about Bangalore are the number of metalheads there and the only advanced/advanced-traffic people there are your mechanical engineers with all their modded cars and bikes. But even those would qualify as uber geeks when it comes to enjoying life. So, you’re left with one good thing: metalheads 😛 Aaah… J/K… No offense (although I can’t stop laughing at bangalore-waasi’s :P) Remember? Delhi is the city that never sleeps and is known for it’s wining and dining? We beat Mumbai in the night culture long back and continue till date :thumb: ---

Style? Agreed. The only reason I like Bangalore. The rest is all your ingad-pingad-poo! :lol: Don’t get fired up… Ya’ll know I’m just yankin yer chain! 😛 And dude, only people seeking jobs in management go down there. And when they’re done with it all, they fly off! Sheesh. Just cuz we cool guys came down there to chill out in a new place (which eventually populated it so much) you guys got over your heads! :lol: I once saw a dude from Bangalore drinkin beer with a straw! That too from a Kingfisher can! Cool! Very cool I must say! 😛 Jokes apart, Bangalore is a very nice place! :thumb: ---
