Exciting

I drove to lunch and back yesterday on the roads of Penang, in a beat-up manual 600cc Kancil car no less. It was pretty scary, since the last time I drove a manual was almost a year ago, plus I’m still a relatively new driver having just gotten my license a year back. But I was surprised at how the steps were all so carved into my memories that I had hardly any problems operating the car. No stalling at all!

Malaysia is well known for their bad traffic and horrendousdriving habits, which to most people is bad news but not to me yet, it makes me feel better about being a terrible noob driver really, a sort of consolation whenever I’m a bloody inconvenience. In Singapore I really try hard not to be an ass on the road and keep to myself as much as possible, but over here I can literally let my manners fly out the window.

Well I guess what people say is true: if you want to feel good about your own bad driving, go visit a country with worse driving habits.
