People just seem to plow ahead when I'd expect them to stop and stop when I expect them to plow ahead. No doubt I'd end up confusing everyone and get into a wreck. If that's not frightening enough, do you know what the US State Department recommends you do in the event of an accident on the road? Run. Don't hang around the scene of the accident and try to find the nearest police station because a violent mob may form. One of the drivers taking Sarah around actually had a close call with another driver and they pulled onto the side of the road and yelled at each other for a while. Sarah says she just locked her door and tried to look less foreign or maybe more invisible. Yeah, I wouldn’t even try to drive.

Drive? Sure, I love driving... Gave up after an hour or so... Ah yes - this reminds me of when I was asked if I wanted to drive in rural China. Drive? Sure, I love driving…
