    I recently rented a car and took a trip over to Sipalay for a few days, and have to say next time I'm bussing it. Ended up coming back in the evening and it had to be the most stressful drive of my life, and that includes many blinding snowstorms in Canada where I had to contend with almost no visibility as well as snow and ice covered roads.
    The next day, I went through the archives of our site and found an articles that pretty well summed up my experience

    Basically once past the hell on earth, no mans land full of crazies in Bacong market area, it is smooth sailing going South. Totally correct regarding anyone driving at night time anywhere here is Kamikazi stuff for sure.

    We all need to forget anything we have learnt about driving in our own countries, we just need to somehow adapt to driving here and be aware of the hazards! There are a lot of them :sneaky:
