From the view of such an American, going to some Asian cities may seem to be going to a future world - cell phone works everywhere even under the ocean tunnle; riding on the state of the art public transit including viewing the latest news on four or more LCD screens; one pre-paid pass works for subway, bus, ferry even restaurants - all you have to do is to wave your pass, which can be in the form of a ring or a card.

Who's really developed is really a subjective view.
