イギリスの免許を書き換えに府中自動車教習所に行ってきた。

筆記試験と実技試験があると聞いていたのだが、

イギリスの免許はそれら両方とも免除で、今日免許を取得できた!

しかし、府中の係員はとても不親切で、もう少しでキレるところだった。

だが、免許がゲットできたので、すべては結果オーライとしよう。

同じく、免許の書き換えに来ていた、オーストラリア留学から帰ってきたShifumiさんと知り合い、

免許取得の喜びを分かち合った。

Shifumiさんは偶然にも、東大和市に住んでいるので、帰りは家まで車で送ってくれた。

彼女はオーストラリアで国際免許を取得したので、既に日本でばりばり運転しているらしい。

それに対して僕といえば、免許を取った3月以来一度も運転していないので、

明日から練習だ。よくこんなもんで免許をくれたなあ。

夕方父とダイヤモンド・シティへ連れて行ってもらい、靴とズボンを買った。

I went to a driving test centre in Fuchu to convert my UK driving license.

I was told that there will be a paper test and a practical test,

but as my license it the almighty British one (not the crappy American license hohoho),

I was exempted from both of those test and got my full license on spot, I was like YES!

But I was so close from swearing against those officers at the driving test, they were such a prickly people.

But I cannot complain too much, as I got my license on the day, after all, it was quite an efficient process (but prickly).

I met Shifumi, a girl who just came back from her study in Australia and was there to convert her license.

We shared our happiness together and she even gave me a lift back home as she happened to live in my Higashiyamato city.

Shifumi is already a good driver, as she has been driving in Japan using  her international license,

but as for me,

I haven't driven since March, so I have to practise from tomorrow.

In the evening, my dad gave me a lift to Diamond City and I bought shoes and trousers.
