I think every trip to Indonesia where I get into a car with a local driver, I’ve cheated death!
My recent trip to Sri Lanka was crazy too, we were in a 20 seater bus overtaking trucks on blind corners on mountain roads, doing 80-100kms an hour and while everyone is holding their breath, the driver was so calm with a smile on his face, not a care in the world.
I learnt to not watch the road, just enjoy the view out the window and whatever happens is going to happen, some things you just can’t control!
