Driving?
As Rod Serling would say, "Imagine this." I have yet to be issued my ID card, but today many of the newcomers like myself are going to take a mandatory written driver's test. Then, those who pass will take a mandatory driving test later. What did I have to study with to learn how the Japanese drive? They handed out copies of a driver's handbook that has been run about 100 times through a Xerox machine and in print so small I have to borrow my wife's glasses to be able to read. We have had one day to study. I don't get these people. No ID card, but they want you to drive. Hell, these people here drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the right side. God help us.
