Having lived in Romania and Vietnam, you learn to appreciate the efficiency of just paying the bribe and getting on with your life. For example, if I get caught speeding I can bribe a cop for like $20 in Eastern Europe or Asia versus losing $1000s in Canada between fines and insurance premium increases.<p>I personally find it a lot less stressful than living in Canada where every time I see a cop I get a little adrenaline rush of fear.<p>Anyways, most of the other things on your list exist in Canada too, we just don&#x27;t call it bribery, we call it &quot;private clinics&quot;, &quot;private school&quot;, &quot;private motorcycle training academy where your instructor, who&#x27;s the same person you&#x27;re paying and reviewing, is the one who gives you your license&quot;.
