That's probably the big one that separates 1st and 3rd world.
Also, trying to get anything in a government department. Literally anything.
In the ‘third world’, dealing with the government is much more efficient....take Mr. minister of whatever department to the local nudy bar, cover the tab and all your requests are met. It also helps in the third world to have family members or friends in whatever higher position.
My wife’s cousin was the right hand man of the president in Panama (Martinelli), and overnight once elected, half of her extended family was appointed to the highest positions throughout to positions they had zero business being in or knowledge of.

Spent plenty of time in 3rd world nations There is something to be said for getting shit done with nothing more than being on a motorbike, AK slung on your back, a wad full of cash and cheap gas station sunglasses to pass out at checkpoints. I don't need 14 PowerPoint Tabbed Officers to give me a brief on execution. When the fuck did we go from , "Good job", to "We're going to need a 25 page rundown on everything you did? Because I have literally submitted 1 page of "I did it", and 24 pages of "Fuck You" before. Is probably why I'm on job x times infinity, but my wallet is fat, my street cred is solid, and I can still look at myself in the mirror in the morning.
Other side of me likes the trains on time, and 1st world medical facilities.
Yes, we complicate the shit out of everything in the civilized world. Nothing more joyful to me than being wild and free in places that don’t even have street names, and nobody has any fucking idea what their plans are the next day, let alone in the next hour.
