US.. the land of opportunities and paradox

Hmmmm............ I continue my talk on USA... So I appreciate many things in US... The law is quick and there is less corruption, at least at the lower levels.. U cant escape being fined by trying to bribe the traffic police.... Not even "Please please Uncle.. I forgot at home tactics will work" The students dont copy or cheat in exams at least not as bad as they try to do back home... Not that everyone of them is honest... But they somehow stick to rules... These people are unconventional in thought and at the same time, they stick to rules.. Weird paradox!! Isnt it?

You would think that many people would be rich and most of them lead a luxurious life .. but every place has its own story of poverty. Its poverty that drives people to shoplift, mug, rob, eat junk and grow obese, neither luxury nor being brought up as spoilt kids drives them to crime.. Its pure poverty...

With the high standard of education, we would expect to find many educated people here... But many dont intend to study beyond High school.. Not that they lack intelligence... !!

USA is indeed a intriguing country... But its still enjoyable... The sense of adventure and the risk taking nature is appreciable.. They love sports.. You can try all the new sports like ice skating, go karting, etc etc... ( the sports that are a rich man's luxury back home)...

I will continue my blog on the same topic... keep reading and do comment....
