In the western world, insurance is almost necessary. Here, you can get any service for some company if some accident happens, but it’s expensive. People here have got used to use insurance to let the insurance company to take care of it, which is different from China.

In China, people like to get help from their family, relatives etc.. In this way, your family and relatives would care very much about what you are doing and will do, because they are your “insurance company”. Moreover,  this “company” has no pre-condition and can’t refuse you.  That’s why people here have more freedom from their family etc. but in China, you have to get an agreement from so many people about what you do, I think.

I’m thinking about buying some insurrance for my self-driving trip, and will do some research about it. In Canada, almost everything is too expensive to me. I can’t afford the services if some accident happens.
