    Dutch Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname Dank U zeer / duizend maal dank (thank you VERY much) - a superlative and used when you get stuck in a thunderstorm, then lost, mugged, robbed, etc. And someone helps you. Only then. ZEER is 'very'. JE and U are 'you', but informal and formal. (still alive in old english like in 'ye olde'). "Duizend maal" means a 'thousand times'.

Thanks for saying Joseph. Unfamiliar with how people drive in States.

I just hear it's a bit easier to obtain license and automatics are more common over there. It makes sense for the long drives on straight roads. Whereas over here, it's more windy, narrow and hilly.

My current instructor amuses me with her story of how people can aggressively use lights. I've seen it in action were drivers flash their full beam or use the fog lights unnecessarily to blind each other to vent their frustration and anger at being harassed from behind or for forgetting to turn off their full beam.

Thankfully, I've had a good driver warn me to watch out for a fallen branch on the road.

Sorry what do you mean P ....'if the Kitchen God's eyes were closed and would rather prefer to listen to whispers in her ears??'

Unfortunately in our case, we don't have a wider social network and contact of having friends or relations in high places. It's either we do it ourselves or work harder through many years. I dunno if you can wait that long. But when you do achieve it, it's all the more sweeter coz you earned it big time.

I'm happy that you're sticking to it no matter how difficult it is for the time being. You'll be out of there some day until you're ready financially and when you get another offer.
