Interesting traffic discoveries...

Now that I am preparing myself to be equipped with a local licence, u can imagine me concentrating on the differnces in the road, compared to UAE.So here goes some interesting things i find on the roads here:-

a) You may make right turns on red light on most roads here, after you check traffic for urself!

b)The names of the street are parallel to the road, so look right or left not straight for directions!

c) there are Sensors just behind the stop line at traffic lights, that allows the system to run accordingly--so cool!

d) i didnt find a single cab or bus near my place! i think its cos my area is not city! :-(

e)i like the center lane idea, that allows u to stay on it and wait until u take a left turn safely!

Welcome to the US! About d) it's not unusual at all not to find a cab or a bus in the US. Public transport is not really a big thing here.. mostly everyone has a car and drives to wherever they want. The best cities for public transport IMO are New York and Chicago and maybe some others that I don't know about. But those are the ones where you get to walk a lot. :) Good Luck on the driving test!

Twinkle twinke little stars...

Babies - they are a bundle of joy, get away with anything n everything, full of surprises, curiosity at its peak, quick learners, change your life immensly and i guess actually teach you at the end of the day! Well the sudden baby talk is cos I'm now a huge fan of my 3 of my friends' little ones - Kitty, Dancing queen and Adi! I can't get enough of their pictures and their million expressions...everything is sooo cute, charming. They are absolutely adorable! Ofcourse while being overwhelmed by the 3 stars, all credit to the moms - TP, Athena n CS whose lives have now been rescheduled and ruled by their babies! Do keep sending me pics and ya videos too!
