Guess what? 🚗

I passed! 🥳

Yesterday, I had my second attempt at getting an Australian driving license. It was my second test. I've been driving for 15+ years, but here I need to get a new license, and I finally got it.

Everything here is different. First of all, where does the driver sit? Right, on the right. So everything feels weird at first. After a few days you get used to it, but that's not the end of the story.

There are speed limits, and every count counts! If it's marked as 50 and you hit 51, it's over. See you next time, buddy. That's based on all the stories I've heard, and mine was no different. The roads feel different too, you can just sense it, though I'm not sure how to describe it.

Now I've got my (temporary) license, and I can say that I really like the roads here, they're calm and full of pleasant surprises.
