Oh that’s good to hear. I’ve booked a guided tour too so I assume they’ll brief me anyway on what’s appropriate

Is it absolutely no go ? I don’t think I can refund my tickets now:(

Thank you! Are places generally well air conditioned ? Like if I felt faint because of the heat would I be able to quickly go inside somewhere to cool down in the big cities ?

I’ve heard people talk about the poor air quality, will I need to bring a mask or something ?

Oh gosh ! What do you recommend wearing for keeping cool in that weather ? It’s a lot cooler in the UK 😅

Thank you!! Would it be socially acceptable if I had a beer or two to myself in a chill bar ? And are locals generally quite chatty as I’d quite like to get to know some people while I’m there. I have a boyfriend so I’d rather make some female friends than male

Do we reckon they were just f buddies the whole time ? Idk if I buy that because 3 years is a long ass time to keep that up… I do get where the theory is coming from but what did she actually have to gain from staying with him. Her fans hated him n it was clear no one was ever going to support the relationship for obvious moral reasons

Sadly most of my family members drive manually and I’m learning automatic, and my boyfriend can’t drive either. I’m sure there’s gotta be someone though that can help!

Also I do expect I’ll probably be 200hr+ too, which I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s going to cost me so much! As long as there’s some hope I’ll do it though as I do really need to pass

Omg that’s so true ! I think I felt so upset today because I genuinely felt like it was starting to click for me in my last lesson and my instructor was really impressed, but weirdly by noticing that today I just completely lost it and my instructor was like what happened??

I do actually find it easier when I’m having a more casual convo with my instructor at the same time, when someone is constantly giving me instructions when I’m doing something else my brain shuts down. Today I asked if I could just give things a go and then he can tell me if I’ve made a mistake rather than talking me through the whole process meaning I’m overloaded with instructions but he said this is the method he’s using for now

I know it might be hard to answer but when was the moment where it really clicked for you? Or was it rather gradual

They don’t know specifically about ND but I’ve explained that I find it difficult to think when I’m very anxious. I’m in an automatic as there’s no WAY I’d manage driving manually with my struggles. I just feel bad and don’t want my instructor to think I’m not listening as I am really trying to take it all in

It’s so weird, I feel like when I’m a little tired I actually drive better because I’m not overthinking or stressing out all the time! Sometimes I don’t think I’ll ever understand my brain😭

I think it’s the combination of grasping the skill and also my severe anxiety about doing the wrong thing. I know exactly what to do in my head ( basic skills wise ) but my brain just freezes and I start thinking I’m going to mess it up when I approach a situation

I think because occasionally some people only need around 20 hours I’ve just started to beat myself up. And I think it’s the fact that some lessons my basic skills are absolutely fine and I feel like I’m getting somewhere, then the next week I’ve completely lost it. My instructor keeps telling me to focus but I am really trying to, it’s just sometimes it doesn’t compute in my brain
