No dust. Meaning suede shoes and bags are a real possibility. Score 1 for the First World.
People are considerate. No rushing into the aisle to get bags and elbow ur way past the people two rows ahead of u in the flight. Phew. That ought to move the score all the way up to 11 for the First World.
Nobody to help you with bags. Even if you are willing to pay - and I don't count $50 per bag skycap services as part of this. M nearly collapsed on the stairs once under the bags and once got stuck in a revolving door. Poor thing. If it had been India she'd have been able to hop along merrily while 2 porters would have carried her luggage. Score 1 for the Third World. So now it is First World - 11, Third World - 1
Lack of choice for veggies. In small towns, if are veggie then you have a choice of eating salad or Salad. Wonderful. Thank god I eat anything. But still this has to add 1 to the score for the Third world. First World - 11, Third World - 2
Being able to criticise even Heads of State and not have ur film theatres trashed by sycophants. And we claim that we are a vibrant democracy! We are hardly better than a police state in terms of freedom of speech. Imagine making a film on our PM/CM or a Spiritual guru and even criticising them ever so mildly. No can do. That is 5 big ones for the First World. First World - 16, Third World - 2
Hmmm...think that more or less sums it up. I'll add to the list as I remember more things.

Lol, you should keep score when the Indian cricket team plays {insert any country's name here}... who knows, with the charmingly illogical scoring you demonstrated in this post, we might even win :P
