Yes, that is right, I have started driving in Uganda! Very cool! I had my first driving lesson on Sunday, December 2nd. My roommate Holly took me to a quiet neighborhood so I could get used to things a bit. Driving on the left side of the road is strange! When you make right hand turns you have to cross traffic, but with left hand turns you don’t. The blinkers are located on the right side of the steering wheel and if I’m not careful I turn on the windshield wipers instead! After driving for awhile around the neighborhood, I drove home. It was a light traffic time of day, but even so, I think I did pretty well. I didn’t hit anyone or anything at least. Look out Kampala, here I come!

So... Have you done any Chinese Fire Drills yet? If your roomates don't know how to do them, you have to teach them. Your an awesome driver in the USA I bet your even better in Africa!
ahhh, takes me back to those first (frightening) days driving...i remember the first time trying to turn on the headlights...i was so busy looking for the switch that i veered into the left lane. at least no one was coming in the opposite direction!
