When I first moved here I had a car and driver for at least a year. It was certainly conviennent enough, and it is nice to be able to get work done in the back or sleep, etc. One of the biggest pluses is to not have to worry about parking wherever you go, as you just get dropped off in front of wherever you go and then get picked up from there.
But then I started driving myself, and am glad I did. Of course not a day goes by where you don’t find yourself going “what the fuckkkkkkk” or screaming whatever curse word in whatever language pops into your head first. But actually, I quite enjoy driving here, not having to worry about things like lanes or stop lights or the such. It’s really quite a freedom. I drive all around the city every day, and enjoy the air con and my Spotify playlists. Of course it’s slower than a moto, but you get to know which ways to go to best avoid traffic, and driving techniques to get your way through. I like the freedom of having my own car and being able to pop all around, and of course it’s great for weekend trips. I hardly use the driver anymore, except for certain dinners out, airport drop offs, and when I’m feeling particularly lazy.
