California Permit

Today I got a California Permit! It took me 3 hours, but I was able to study during that time.

Then, I went to a car dealer to buy a used car with one of my American friends.

But the car for $4000 was too old, 1995. So I decided to just rent a car for a week till I could get a better car to buy.

I called many car rental shops but they didn't have the car I wanted. Finally I found a car rental shop and the price was good at $199 per week. They came to pick us up.

We arrived at the car rental shop at around 5:30, got a Mazda and I drove for the first time in the USA.

It was not so bad, but there were so many car lanes that I was nervous a little bit because I had to stay in the right lane to make a turn when necessary.

Today's thank note.....

1. I'm grateful for one of my American friends for helping me find a car and watch over my awkward driving in California. He also offered me better deal for driving lesson. 
2. I'm grateful that I passed written test at the first time. 
3. I was able to talk with Angel and several friends contacted me,  so I feel I can go on in this foreign world somehow well.

昨日はカリフォルニアの筆記テストに合格してついに運転のパーミットを得ました。

 

さらに知り合いのアメリカ人友達に中古車販売店の付き添いを頼んだところもっといい車が探せるとのことなので彼に任せ、一週間車をレンタルすることにしました。

 

今は彼の元で学校よりもいい値段で運転教習を受けてます。アメリカは何本も車線があり車線変更が大変です。さらに2車線の道路に左折する時かなり遠くの道路に入るので違和感ありました。

 

今日は一人で近くのショッピングセンターの待ち合わせ場所まで行きますが、昨日一緒に練習させてもらいましたので大丈夫だと思います。

 

この休暇何をしようか不安でしたが何とかやることを見つけました。多くの知り合った友達は里帰り中です。
