Every time I'm in China or Taiwan, I am amazed at all the motorcycles and scooters. Of course you wonder how the heck do they put so many on what is already crowded narrow streets. Then you remember most of the cars are very small too, so it's prolly safer than in the USA with suck larger vehicles your sharing the road with. Traffic congestion isn't caused by people, but the sheer numbers of vehicles at one time at a given point in the road. Dan Rather once said; "Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic." But, in Asia traffic is a part of their daily lives. You must be patient and forgiving in order to keep your sanity. If you travel to one of the many beautiful Asian countries, be ready for the equivalent of a human frogger video game. While trying to cross the street, you would be the frog!
