My Very Cool International Driving Permit

The other day my dad drove me to the Ipoh JPJ to get my international driving permit done. One hour and an RM 150 fee later, I got my very own permit to drive around in just about any country you can think of! I was chattering excitedly to my grumpy father (grumpy due to the RM150 fee which was quite steep for such a permit) about the permit card that I was fully expecting to slide in next to my driving licence in my wallet. Imagine my surprise when my name was called and I was handed a booklet!

As we drove off in search of lunch I opened my booklet to read the print on the inside of the cover where the countries that I was allowed to drive in is listed. I was tickled pink to read that I now have the permission, granted by the Convention on Road Traffic of 19th September,1949, to drive in almost 160 countries! Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Madagascar and my personal favourite, Mongolia! My dad was randomly naming countries that he doesn't think could possibly be on the list and each time I would laughingly tell him " Sorry, it's on the list!".

Isn't it funny that I can now drive in Mongolia? Though I guess Chang Yang is right, that camels would probably be better than cars in that particular country! So, is there any kind generous soul out there who would sponsor me a camel?

No. of people who owe me CRVs --> 3 ( You know who you are!! Buy me a CRV already! )

No. of people who owe me Rav4 --> 1 ( Cos my post on you was soooo touching Delicia Chee!)

No. of people who owe me a credit card --> 1 ( Quick! Everyday without shopping is an emergency and you said I can use the card in emergencies! Being unable to shop is a national crisis! *solemn nod* )

No. of people who owe me a camel --> 1 ( Yew Chang Yang I want my camel!)

No. of people who owe me a meal --> 1 ( Japanese Buffet!!! Cat cat you owe me!!! and one dinner at Flower Drum!!!)
