A global Taxi Survey by Hotels.com appears to endorse India's cliched label as the land of the Kama Sutra. Among its many findings, the 30-country survey showed that 30 per cent of Indians admitted to kissing in the back seat of a cab. To put that in perspective, the global average for this type of behaviour is 9 per cent. The British, however, outperform Indians when its comes to "displaying passionate behaviour" (apparently there is a distinction between this and kissing) in the back seat of a cab with 10 per cent of them admitting to this against a 4 per cent global average.
