One of my best friend is from Shanghai and his father owns around 80% of the billboards around the city. His girlfriend is from Singapore and her father works in real estate.

His father bought a house and their families were able to give each other wasta by jumping the que on the waiting list.

That's wasta.

So now I'm telling you again. EVERY country has wasta. Huge or large. It just depends who you are.
