You don't appreciate how good highways are back home until you've been to India.
In Canada, if the sign says 300km to your destination, you know you've got a 3ish hour trip ahead of you. Maybe less, no more.
Here, with narrow roads, lax traffic laws, and people/pedestrians who constantly run across the road, 300km can = 6+ hours of travel. It's seriously like a game of frogger here, and my respect for our driver has doubled after seeing what he has to put up with on the road.
Still, you'll never appreciate how long those last 10km of a trip can be til youve been down an Indian highway.
They say time is relative, but spend some of it here and you may start to disagree...
