You're right, the narrow roads are quite scary but the more I drive the better it's getting. Ryota was a good teacher, he made me drive the land cruiser on the narrowest road where we live first so now everything else seems easy!Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837500129573276985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-73891035270491114092009-05-22T16:14:01.260+09:002009-05-22T16:14:01.260+09:00Congrats on getting your Japanese license!!

The only thing I had to do to get my license was explain to them about how getting an Australian license works (i.e. learners, P's and then your opens) and do an eye test! We were in and out in about half an hour!! <br /><br />Japanese roads are pretty scary but you will get used to them - trust me!! The narrow roads start to feel less narrow the more you drive on them... although I don't think I will every completely get used to driving on 'walkways' that Japan calls 'two laned traffic'!Nayhttp://www.nayandnao.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-80069462555451993112009-05-22T08:44:10.784+09:002009-05-22T08:44:10.784+09:00Lulu~ Hi!

I've read your blog before, again, congrats on your wedding! <br />Don't worry, getting your licence in Japan will be really easy (just a little time consuming).<br />hehe, Maybe Aussie girls have problems with hill starts?? <br />Me too, I'm going for my first drive today and am freaking out about the narrowness of the roads!Corinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837500129573276985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-27478787282963799142009-05-21T21:40:05.770+09:002009-05-21T21:40:05.770+09:00My first time to comment here- but hey, I am Lulu,...My first time to comment here- but hey, I am Lulu, and a friend of Sarah`s!<br /><br />I have to apply for a Japanese licence when I return to Japan- Not exactly sure what it all entails but I guess we will be similar as we are both Aussies.<br /><br />Your hill start story cracked me up- I have a similar one. I also jumped out of the car- and it rolled back down a hill with my dad in the passenger seat panicking...Fun times!<br /><br />Roads in Japan are scarily narrow- I can not even reverse park without having a heart attack so not sure how I will go there.<br /><br />Oh and congrats by the way!Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391030748931575341noreply@blogger.com
