One of the challenges we encountered when we first arrived in Fiji was adjusting to driving on the left. Everything was opposite of the US in terms of traffic movement, as well as the car itself. The steering wheel, of course, is on the right...and the controls for signals, wipers, etc., were on the opposite side of the steering wheel. We had a lot of laughs as the windshield wipers came on almost every time dad signalled to turn!
Within 6 months of arriving in the country, one is required to apply for a Fijian driver's license. This means a visit to the LTA (land transport authority), or what we would call the DMV.This is it.
No waiting!
After a very brief driving test, which dad passed with flying colors, he was given his new driver's license.
Good job, Dennis!

We are happy to report that the windshield wipers only come on when it rains now!
Good job, Dennis!

Wow! Congrat's on your new driver's license! i'm sure it was much easier to get one in another country than it is to get one in colorado! :)
oh wow it just looks so different with Dad driving on the opposite side of the road and him sitting in that car. well glad u are official.
Haha, I can relate to the driving experience! It took me at least a year to really get used to it. Hope you are enjoying your mission!
