Very weird.

This is online almost 24h now and not even 1 person did write something.

If this would happen in Thailand within 5 min 15 persons would already had writen about how unsafe Thailand is, how dangerous the roads are, how crazy the drivers are , how bad the busses are or other sarcastic things.

Maybe my bad that i have the impression that some peoples only wanna break down everything in Thailand when they have the chance.
