I too am from Boston and learned to drive there. In fact I had a temporary job as a courier driver in downtown. Everyone that complains about streets and other drivers should have to navigate the financial district for a week.
But then, I lived in Manila, The Philippines for a year and did something that I was warned over and over not to do. I bought a car and drove. After that experience, I can tell you that Boston, Manhattan, New Jersey and every other city over here is a piece of cake. It would really take two or three pages to even attempt to describe driving in Manila.
When I open TOTV and see posts by members complaining about the roads, the roundabouts or drivers here, I just sit back and smile. They have no idea.
