Watch out Netherlands...

I have my driverslicense!

I can still barely believe it but... Oh my god I HAVE it! It's done! After over a year of seemingly endless lessons, dispairing if I'd ever learn, lesson after lesson after lesson after lesson, a horrid examiner for my first test... I passed my drivers test today!

I got it on my second try, which is no more than average, really. I can pick it up at city hall Wednesday next week and then... Then I can borrow my mom's car (lovingly christened 'the cooky jar' by my housemates) and drive... on my own... for real!

It's still unbelievable.

Wow that's a lot of people!! And it's awesome that you have more bikes than people :) I would love to ride mine more often, but it gets so hot during the year that I can't stand it. Lots of people do, but I can't even stand going outside during the hottest months.

I can sympathize with people getting screwy when it gets cold, though. Since it rarely rains or snows in this part of the state, people FREAK OUT when it starts raining. They drive like crazy people! They either freak out and drive so slow that they're a hazard, or the drive way too fast not realizing that their braking time isn't the same on wet roads. Bah!

So be careful when you do get your license because I'm sure that people are crazy drivers no matter what continent you live on! (I don't have a winter-themed icon, but Sensei looks cold in this one, so I guess it works!) :)

*giggles* works perfectly!

Hmmm it was the public transport that went all weird. You get a couple of snowflakes and suddenly it get's delayed all over the place. But yes, people also start to drive like traffic hazards. I had one of those idiots in front of my car when I was taking my driving exam. Handled it well enough I'd say! ^___^

*laughs* We have so much rain that people don't really seem to care. The idea of getting so crazy over driving in the rain sounds like a joke to me, but then I see how the Dutch drive in the snow and I completely believe you.

Hmmm I think I know what you mean about the summer being too hot. Some days in summer I hide inside here and than it's only about 30 degrees Celcius. I don't know how hot it gets there, but I'm sure it's hotter than that. I really don't handle heat well.

I think if you handle a stressful situation really well - like an idiot driving in the snow - you have a pretty good chance on your driving exam. At least that's what I've heard from people here. I went through a course taught through my school, so I didn't take the official driving test, but rather the one officiated by the school teachers. So that was nice, because it was a bit less stressful than taking a driving test with a stranger! So I'm sure you got brownie points with your instructor :)

I heard that England was all clogged up because of the snow - sounds like a huge pain! And it even made the American news, so it must've been a pretty darn big storm!

I really don't know much about European geography other than the basic country outlines o.0 How close are you to the sea? Does that make it get really cold? In the summer months, it hovers anywhere from 37-44 degrees Celsius (100-112 degrees Fahrenheit) here. Gah!
