It was 2005 when I first drove a car in America, I was a bit apprehensive, driving on the other side, I thought to myself “wow that will be difficult.” In my mind I had built up what a difficult task it would be. Sangeet and I had hired the car in downtown Boston, at the best time possible, rush hour!!
To my surprise and I think Sangeet's relief, I picked up driving in the USA very easily. Driving around, with Sangeet doing a great job at navigating we found the way out of downtown and was soon driving towards the state parks. These days, when landing in America we pick up a rental car and drive to our destination, regardless of the distance.
Now in Thailand there are a lot of people who ride motorbikes and scooters, it is very cool and you feel the urge to ride. On our six month trip we hired a scooter in the Cook Islands, that is where we first learnt to ride. When I picked it up, the lady asked “have you ridden before” I said no, she suggested that I go for a test ride in the car park….I nearly rode off the edge and into the lagoon!! Sangeet drove the scooter like she has always been riding one!
Yesterday for the first time I rode a motorbike this has four gears, it was such a cool experience, yes, I know before you say, Bangkok is no place to learn, but hey I have been doing Muay Thai for the last three months!!
Traveling is one of my passikns and I love reading about tops from those who do it for a living lol great post

Are you professional in Muay Thai?? One of friend is a silver medalist in the amateur division. Love the sport
Hi I do Muay Thai as a passion and a way to stay fit.
Oh wow that sounds like quite the time!I don’t know how I would handle driving in the UK
This was in Bangkok, a crazy and hectic place, perfect for learning the bike!
I would so enjoy travelling around different spots of the world. It seems like an experience of a lifetime!
I love to travel and see different countries, experience different cultures and taste new foods!
This is really interesting. You never think of the differences in transportation in other countries. Great post
Thank you
when you put your mind to something you will learn and know better
That is so true, I could not have said it better myself.
