Crazy Drıvers…
April 27th, 2008
I’m not sure if I have mentioned it yet, but driving here is crazy! At first I thought that they were terrible drivers, now I realize that they are actually very good drivers – weaving in and out the way they do without hitting anyone, squeezing in between cars or a car and a building, taking curves in the road without slowing down – or even thinking about slowing down… I often find myself sucking in as if holding my breath will make the car narrower. Then, there are the times that I think it would be best if I just closed my eyes, well, that may actually be most of the time, but I keep on watching and being amazed that things come out as well as they do.

Hi Jaimi:
I am Kim…. GSE to Thailand,2007. Your experience so far sounds soooooo familiar. It is hard to believe how similar things can be. Any way, I didn’t write to talk about me, I wanted you all to know I hope your adventure is filled with more memories and happy surprises.
Kim.
We think North American drivers are crazy but i know what you mean. Indonesia and Thailand are the same. I sat in awe at how no one got killed. In Indonesia, we would laugh at how many people they could fit on a motorcycle (6 was the most). AMAZING !!!!!!!!!
Although no one else has written, I’m sure you have wonderful stories already. I wish you continued success on your journey.
Looking forward to more.
