My First...

time driving a car in Cambodia. Phnom Penh to be precise... well, it wasnt a long drive or a road full of horrendous drivers and riders... it was at night. well, 3 of us went for dinner and the initial driver was too drunk to drive... so i offered. he had his poison... WINE. lol. so, there i was, behind the wheels for the first time. felt really weird... its left-hand drive here in Cambo... so, as expected... was very tempting to drive on the left side of the road. took off, made a few turns, stuck behind some traffic... so far so good. it wasnt so bad after all. well, i cant compare that night with the peak hours during a workign day of course. it was my first... and a point was brought up; i have committed in total 5 offences on my first time! wtf??!?! below is the list...

1. Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
2. Driving without a license
3. Driving while using the mobile phone
4. Beating a red light 
5. Driving without a safety belt on

hmmm... i think i would have been in jail for life and fines up to millions of Riels if caught. dammit!

LOL!
