I called the DMV back in the States to find out some information concerning renewing my drivers licence.For those of you "expats" do you ever find yourself preparing what you will say? Especially when you're in an office or calling someone on the phone? I find myself doing this all the time, making sure my thoughts make sense and that I'm clear and polite.
I did that before this woman picked up the phone! But that wasn't the worst! I almost started speaking to her in French! Luckly I stopped myself and was able to hold some sort of conversation...
And even better I found out that if I am late renewing my licence (it expires in October and I'm not sure if I'm going home this summer or not...) there are no late fees as I'm abroad and as long as I renew within 5 years I don't have to retake the test!
On top of it all, she was so nice and actually volunteered information! They never do that in France, you have to ask every possible question to get the information you want and she simply volunteered it! :-)
Its nice to talk to people like that on the phone. Plus everything is all organized for my licence, nice and simple :-)

you might wanna check again on that. i was told that i had to get my licence early otherwise after six months i would have to retake the test. i think. maybe im just talking out my butt, but anyways, i have a new licence. :) unfortunately the pics not as good as my last one. they've started taking close up head shots!
