Good to hear your ok! Man... What is it about asians? Like Im not racest.... but SOOOO many asians have pulled out infront of me... and I'm in a 4WD (for now, till I find a bike) 4WDs are pretty hard to not see!

Crazy, crazy lil people.

Keep safe!

As I always say, Asian WOMAN drivers and people movers.....

it must be the worst combination possible...

MMMmmmm Wendy's, I had sooo much wendy's when I was up in auckland last weekend... pity they don't have them down here.... they need a Cheesecake shop here as well... (and dunken donuts... I miss auckland....)

FUCK YEAH! got to love those bacon cheese burgers for $1.95, thats all i eat when i go up to auckland, its sad but its one of the things i miss the most about auckland.

got picked up from work in dads cage last night....making a right turn that would cross oncoming traffic....there was an oncoming car, but a good gap that left heaps of room for us to turn safely. halfway through said turn, i take another look and blow me down, theres a bloody scooter in front of the car! had a headlight on, but the lights of the car cancelled it out...i never even saw it. luckily, it wasnt moving too fast, but still, rather scary thinking "what if" cos i could have truthfully said, i never saw you.

whether it woulda made a difference if i was on the bike or not, i dont know. i would have maybe waited for that car to go past first, but i dont know.

Well I worked at that bloody place for 2 years or so when I was at high school... damn I put on like 10kgs and never lost it (got rather attached to my big bacon...) Luckly most of the staff and managers since I left has all changed so not many people recognise me now...

[edit] - oh I noticed last weekend that the bacon cheese burgers are $2.00 now.... damn that was so strange they've been $1.05 for the last 5 years...

A) Kudos for making it in one piece and without taking the rubber off tarmac.

B) I see two factors here:
1. Misogynic culture that is not likely to instill confidence in young asian females.
2. Apparently in Australia and New Zealand people not owning a people mover shouldn't be allowed to breed, because "...if you can't drive them around, you might as well put them for adoption".

The result is obvious: Young girl (especially surrounded by half a dozen ankle-biters) lacking confidence to drive + a heavy people mover = road hazard.

P.S. I can empathise with the lady. Driving a 3.5 ton truck for the first time was an adrenaline-producing experience as well.
