If you are ever leaning to drive a
scooter or a car I don't recommend learning in a third world country
where there is no speed limit and no actual cops that patrol the
roads, so that means it's a free for all at every intersection. Over
the past few days my brother, dad and I have been driving around on
scooters. When we were driving about on scooters on the coast it was
nice there was not traffic and not very many cars. But in the town of
Ubud it's a whole different story.
In our travels across the world in
many third world countries we have noticed that one of the biggest
problems is the traffic. Overall in Vietnam it was the worst. At
almost every intersection there was mass chaos with cars and bikes
going in every direction.
In Ubud it wasn't as bad as Vietnam
but it wasn't easy. You have to concentrate on not driving into the
other lane, not falling off your scooter, not driving off the road
when a hulking truck creeps up behind you and honks his overly loud
horn 5 feet away from you, and did I mention you have to drive on the
left side of the road in Bali. So that just makes it 100% better
It was super fun because we got to
explore the real Bali and drive through rice fields. And driving
just for the fun of it supercalifragilisticexpialidotious, as Bella
would say. Five days later we drove back to Denpasar and flew back
to Singapore because 3 days later we had to fly to London.
