Cultural Differences in a good way :)

Today we were driving back from another persons house and we got to an intersection. Everyone at the intersection was looking out of their cars and just stopped. We could not see what was going on and tried to see around the cars eventually we saw that three cars had gotten into an accident. The amazing and awesome thing was that people were coming from everywhere out of their cars their little stands on the side of the street. Just leaving whatever they were doing to go and help the people that had just gotten into an accident. Part of the reason for this is that the ambulances are well not that effective or quick and you would rather not go to the doctors in this country. So what you have is the people around you. I was completely amazed at how many people there were enough people at each of the three cars to probably pick each car up and then some. The people are not affraid of getting sued or being late to some meeting, they just want to help in any way possible. This does not help in the whole traffic area, because everyone just jumps out of their cars and leaves them in the middle of intersections. I have never seen a better example of helping your neighbors though.
