Time marches on, my son has just taken his first steps at ten months old, I've decided my car is too small for four of us, a baby seat and a pram, so I'm thinking about a Daihatsu Luxio mini bus. They're about the size of a transit van, but can seat 8 people, all with loads of leg room, and there's still room for the pram in the back.
I think I just have enough under the mattress to buy it cash, but I want another few quid off the price - well, I am from Yorkshire.
Driving here is interesting, and many people are shocked at the state of the roads, but many expats out here hire drivers, and they rarely to never venture down the small side roads. The tiny road are known as 'jalan tikus' or rat roads. Fine for small motorbikes (I've sold mine), but can be a bit narrow if two larger cars meet up. Lots of minor bumps to be had unless you're really careful.
The video is running fast so the 20 minute trip takes 2 minutes to watch.
