It's a well known fact that the amazing opportunity of learning to drive stick shift is something you can't do in Canada. Luckily the US are there for that!

You haven't driven stick shift until you have driven stick shift in Europe. Extra points if you change gears with the left hand.

No, you haven't driven stick shift until you have driven stick shift in Bangalore. Not to mention you'll have a new found appreciation for gears 1-3 (of the 5 or 6 possible levels you can go up to).

It's harder to find automatic transmissions here. You essentially have the full model range with manual transmission, not only low end and sportscars.
