Nicer than "Red Asphalt"

One of the great things about being involved in a developing media environment is watching media develop. In this case, a young reporter is thrust into the role of being both the subject (of going through driving school) but also the reporter (about what it takes to go through driving school).

The end result will be posted to serve not just as entertainment--ha, ha, look at him slide down the chair of death!--but also as a guide for expatriates trying to navigate their way through the impressively dense tangle of red tape that surrounds every bureaucratic process here.





So, to recap: a useful and entertaining use of technology. Almost as good as 8-bit Halo.

Wow, driving school is pretty high tech in the UAE. I just took a drivers test (written and behind the wheel) in Calfornia last week and it was no where near as cool.

Thanks for sharing :)
