Yup. With the huge popularity and usage of bikes and scooters, some people hardly ever use a car. Plus driving a car in the narrow, congested roads is a big pain in the ass. 2-wheelers are more convenient here.
Yeah, I've seen the videos of traffic there. Shit is nuts.

Ramos is an idiot

I don't call him by the first name of "Ignore" for nothin'. :pado:

Collect the cash. See the sights. Just don't ask to be treated as better than a second-class immigrant. :heart:

Yeah without tax that's great. I heard Dubai is expensive though.
A little. But lots of hot, young women looking for a little cash and adventure in their early careers too. :D

Is this your relative?

Like who wouldn't want that as their relative!!!

Need to buy a car.
I need to learn how to drive a car.
I need to torch my car and drive it off a cliff.

True, but it seems like most in my generation will never come to that point considering they take the easy way out of everything. The people I work with have no work ethic whatsoever.

Probably a reaction to the previous generation. They've seen what happens to people who go head-first into work, watching their marriages and families implode around them, watching them turn into pale, fat slobs who never leave the house, turning into slaves to their bank accounts.

It's likely an over-reaction if anything -- not unlike the current generation of Japanese who are about as anti-consumer as they come after watching their parents blow their wads and collapse in two decades of recession.

I would argue that it's about being spoiled and having the "I deserve this" mentality. The parents made a ton of money in the housing market, the kids don't want to work, and everyone knows that the government will supposedly bail them out.

Depends on how successful the parents are, but that sounds like classic second generation stuff. Those parents would be wise to give their kids zero inheritance so they actually make something of themselves.
