Driving 101

It's Sunday and the first 1/2 day of class. It's time to learn how to drive again.... The class is a 3 hour lecture on how to drive 4x4 taught by a Sudanese man with a thick accent. He was very animated which kept the class interesting. If not I would of had to poke my eyes to keep awake.

We were done by noon and headed home.

My driving test is on Tuesday morning. Should be fun. The driving in Sudan is well.... hmm.. how to explain... If you want to make a left turn across a busy highway and so do 5 other cars, you don't necessarily line up and wait your turn. You just push in beside each other and all go at the same time or whenever you feel its safe. Yeh, A little NUTS!! I keep grabbing the "Oh Shit" handle in the truck as other vehicles get very close to us from all directions. Oh and traffic lights...mearly a suggestion.
