Babak baru tinggal diluar Depok




Setelah beberapa lama menimang tawaran tugas luar, akhirnya kami sekeluarga meninggalkan Depok untuk bertugas di luar. Negara tujuan adalah USA, spesifiknya adalah di Houston Texas. Kami mengucap Bismillahirohmanirrohim untuk tugas baru kami bertiga ini (dengan istri dan anak).
Entah kebetulan atau karena lain hal, pada saat kami mendapatkan mobil yg disewakan oleh kantor, Chevrolet Impala lah mobil nya. Wah artinya saya bisa merasakan impala di 2 jaman. Yg pertama keluaran tahun 1964, sekarang dapat impala tahun 2009. Mobil bertenaga 5.8 liter v8 ini memang menjadi ciri khas mobil2 Amerika yg mermesin besar. Bagi saya yg biasa nya pakai Ford Everest dan Honda Jazz di Jakarta pasti ada sedikit perbedaan dengan tenaga mesin mobil ini. Dan yg lebih spesifik lagi....disini kursi kemudinya di sebelah kiri. Wah orientasi dulu nih:)
