White knuckles

The blood drains from the fingers and the skin pulls taunt. Yes that's driving the Asian way.

The current bus driver appears to be unhappy with his current appointment with God, and seeks and earlier one. No matter how many times you take a bus, taxi, moto or tuk-tuk, white knuckles appear to come standard.

But seriously, overtaking up a hill around a blind corner isn't cool, its downright scary. Motorcycles weave between cars, trucks and buses, carrying 2, 3, or even 4 passengers- none wearing helmets. All this occurs with the calm confidence of a Tibetan Buddhist- practical Zen if I even saw it.
