First driving experience

Today we passed a driving test to ensure we were able to drive safely a UN 4X4 vehicle. Beside the fact that we had to wait hours prior to take the test everything went ok. We basically spent the whole day for a test that would have taken minutes to complete under normal conditions in Canada. However, the system in place allows you to pass the road test but also to walk out with your UN driver's licence in hand since they are directly printed on plastic card. Our instructor, Florence is from Namibia; She firmly ensured everyone was completing the test as required prior to grant the licence but at the same time she had a great sense of humour. The best part of it was on the road. You see trucks, cars, motorcycles, tap-tap (kind of taxi trucks) from all over the place passing you at high rate of speed (60 kms/hr) believe me in these conditions 60 kms/hr seem like 130 kms/hrs at home. At the same time you have to watch for the pedestrians who can cross the road anywhere and at the last moment, the stray dogs, kids and of course all the potholes everywhere. Just with the driving test I'm exhausted, I can't even imagine doing this everyday for a long period of time.
