Seat belt on...

I had been waiting for this time, had already got my IDP (International Driving Permit) sorted and ensured I had it on me when I came to the US. Yes this is the first time I am driving a left hand drive (right side of the road). I had thought that it would be confusing and difficult, it wasn't for me though I am occassionally inclined towards the left side of the road.

It is good fun to be driving again after a long time. I have my car back in Kashmir, but ever since I came to England, I seldom got a chance to step into cars let alone drive. Especially London is so congested most of the times, its faster and better travelling by TUBE (metro/underground/trains). Even if people have cars, many places in London have a congestion charge and parking fee is also on the higher side. I am so fond of bikes and cars that it is hard to keep my hands away from them. I think I am fortunate that my uncle is being a good sport in letting me drive all the time (you might think a little crazy, but he isn't). I am already eyeing his SUV, hopefully soon.
