Driving From China to the US
One of the biggest differences between China and the US is the public transportation, or lack thereof. It’s very hard for my wife to get around here when she doesn’t have a driver’s license, and our lame bus system is more trouble than it’s worth. But all that is about to change. Sarah now has a learner’s permit!
My wife actually took driving lessons in China before she moved to the US, not that that matters to the driver’s license division. They don’t even have learner’s permits in China, and the process to get a license doesn’t hit you over the head with as many rules and “things you need to know.” It sounds like it’s much easier to be a legal driver there than it is here. Sarah still has to put in a lot of time with the instructor and me before she can even take the test.
But now that she can drive in a limited capacity, this granted her the opportunity to drive an ATV for the first time in her life. It’s funny how things like ATVs are so commonplace in rural Utah; I don’t even think twice about them, but it’s pretty exciting for a native Chinese person. That, and she also got to ride a horse for the first time in the same weekend. I don’t think you need a learner’s permit for one of those, though…
