Learning to Drive

Being back in Australia is a bit of a culture shock. It's clean and bright and the sky is blue - these are all great things. The food is rich (having trouble stomaching cheese), people drive too fast (more than 50km/hr) and customer service is shocking (no excuses for this one).

Not having driven for almost 2 years was probably the most daunting thing. In China the roads are just chaos, but it is slow kind of controlled chaos. I knew I was a shite driver before I left so getting behind the wheel again was a little scary.

BB gave me a lesson and I was off and running, no bunny hopping or anything. I thought I was doing great guns, until I realised I couldn't turn right. Every right hand turn had me driving on the wrong side of the road until an oncoming car scared the hell out of me and I quickly returned to the left hand side of the road. Ooops
