MyeongHee is almost 42 and yet she’s never driven a car. Never really needed to. Taxis are only a few bucks to cross town and buses to other cities are plentiful and cheap. She decided she wanted to learn how to drive, so yesterday we spent a few hours out in the stadium parking lot doing driving lessons. She learned pretty quickly, especially considering my car is a stick-shift. She got the clutch/brake/gas thing figured out quickly enough and was able to change gears up to 3rd. Luckily, there were no other cars around, for staying in her “lane” was a challenge. She tried parking and if there really were other cars in those spots we’d be in for some serious damage payments. Luckily, there’s no hurry, so we’ll continue teaching as long as we need to.

Next will be bicycle lessons. She’s never learned how to do that, either. Neither has her 16  year old son. That blows me away.
