Money and Cars...!!!

Have only just got over New Years Eve. I hope you all had a good one.

The traffic.....oh the traffic :(( Day by day you can see that there are more and more cars on the road. Credit has become so easily available now. Something that we have taken for granted in the UK for years has just emerged as the new thing here. Everyone is taking out loans or credit to buy the things they want.....including cars. Mercedes is the car to own here. The funny thing is that the Ambassador that I have hired is a novelty car in India now. Roochi and I have been to a couple of high brow do's and at the end our car is the easiest to find as no one else would be seen dead in one !!! I like it though. When in Rome and all that. I'll get a photo of my car soon and post it. Those of you with a nervous disposition will have to turn away when that happens. :))

People are seriously making money hand over foot here. Take the party we went to on new years eve. This guy has built a beautiful spanish looking villa, HUGE it is. What does he do..........? Exports incense....yup those little sticks that smell when you burn them and only cost a few pence or rupees or whatever currency you are in they are cheap.

It is quite common to find middle to upper middle class families with fleets of cars. Our neighbour has a family of 4 people 1 of whom has flown the nest so there are three of them living there. How many cars does he need......? 3 max ?? noooo no no no he needs 6 cars....1 of them being a merc of course. Oh and he has 1 driver for every 2 cars. If you got it.......:)

Peace and love
