We were sitting in a taxi on the way to our hotel. Everything looked so different. And I admit, later on in the trip I nearly got ran over by a car, because I was looking the wrong way.
"Why do they drive on this side?" I asked
"I think there is a historic aspect to that. I am not sure, but I think the reason is so that the men would be able to shake each other's right hand while directing the coaches."
"Oh. That makes sense. But still, I wouldn't be able to drive like this!"
