Passed!

K had his 16th birthday recently and passed his G1 written driving test the same day! He was so excited and M let him practice driving around the block. He is now qualified to take lessons on the road. M said he was quite tense waiting while he wrote the test, because it seemed like a lot of people were failing. There was a pair of twins, one passed and one didn't. Last year, the driving test cost $100, and this year the fee is $125. But if you fail, you can re-take each subsequent time for $10.

That same night we went out practising again, just around the block. He did a good job and enjoyed the lesson, although he went around the corners a bit wide and perhaps too fast. He'll receive his G1 photo ID in a few weeks. He has a temporary one meanwhile.

Ocean Girl has a post on Kuala Lumpur with this great travel video. I think I have to visit one of these days, if only to check the food out.

And Kay posted this cute Korean video on her 1000th post, I had to share.
