Q: What is the legal age for driving in Asia |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A: In China, you have to be 18 to get a driver license. I guess that's the same in most Asian countries. You will notice, there are less road signs in China and other Asian countries, and wearing seat belt is not always enforced as a law. In fact, a lot of adult, mostly men, drink and drive. I am assuming to get a license is harder in Asia, like in China. And to drive in places in Hong Kong and Chinese major cities is always a nightmare. Under normal conditions in China, drivers have to deal with bicyclist. Some of those bicyclist tend to appear in front of you from no where. If you are driving in Hong Kong or Tokyo during rush hour, it takes some expertise to weave through those busy streets and stay alive. |

A:� Asian teens today are becoming more diverse than ever.� In fact, I felt that Asian is having the biggest generation gap in its history.� Especially in China, where teens are becoming more and more westernized.� Examples are swearing in English, guys getting their ears pierces.� I think those people are trying to find a balance between their traditions and the western influences. |
