We started our driving school journey today at 8am. First off the driver of the school refused 
to come into the campus because he was afraid of the elephants among all the other dangerous animals, so we had to drive 2 vehicles out of the gate to meet him instead, which was quite funny. When we got to the other side of the fence which isn’t that much safer( lol) we met the instructor who I can only explain as a big black Santa clause, he was literally so happy and just laughed the whole time, just hearing him outbreak in laughter made you laugh. After greeting him we watched as he went over to his tiny truck and pulled the cover off the bed, I asked myself “um? what is he doing” and just what I guessed he was making room for us!! I thought he was joking at first but that wasn’t the case, so we stuffed in the back like sausages and drove to what was explained to us as down the road, when in reality it turned out to be a 30 min drive which was cold and very windy but we survived . In fact, we were driving for what seemed so long that we started to come up with the idea that perhaps he was going to kidnap us since we were tourist and take our passports, so I took the opportunity to stuff my passport and wallet down my shirt just in case. 
When we arrived the instructor told us that South African driving was not that different from driving in the states, which is not true mainly because we don’t have elephant, ostrich, crocodile or kudu crossing signs, which he found to be quite hilarious. We ended up sitting in a tiny room for 4 hours learning about the signs on the road and were asked hilarious questions to prepare us for the driving test like = If you see someone has been in a wreck and is injured do you a) help them b) call for help or c) drink some alcohol to get over the shock. Ha ha ,we were laughing the whole time in class rather than taking it serious, but what do you expect, we had to keep ourselves awake somehow. Apart from that we had the rest of the day off which was nice ,so I used the time to study for the rifle test this Friday, which just seems impossible to learn, but ill do my best.
