Driving in Japan (jemmy.jeena.net)

Driving in Japan with the wheel on the right side. The first time I did that last year I drove on the wrong side of the road about 5 times and got a shock every time when I saw all the ghost drivers just to quickly realize that it's me who is driving the wrong way. This year it only happened one time, so my brain seems to adapt to that better and better.

Ah good thing is, there are almost no roundabouts in Japan.

The best part is ..... you're in Japan! ... that in itself is amazing. Good for you.

I live on Korra so it's only a 1.5 hours flight ^^

Hmm, what do you have against roundabouts? They are usually seen as a safer and more efficient type of intersection in most scenarios as compared to traffic lights.

the fact that it would be extremely confusing to get to one when you're driving on a opposite lane than you're used to?

which is what they were talking about

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
