When I go to Europe, it just reminds me of how much better they are at taking care of their cities - and we've gotten better.
It's weird how that kind of stuff gets ingrained. Even when I'm racing my bike on closed roads I have to consciously avoid hovering over near the white line.
The first day of driving in Ireland was a terrifying experience. Driving on the left side of narrow roads with cars heading the opposite direction at high speed and very close to me. A few minutes out of the airport I hit a curb and punctured a tire. This redneck looking irish guy called the rental company for me on his cell phone. Hertz told me I was on my own for the tire. Before I knew it this guy came out with a floor jack and changed my tire. I thanked him and offered him a couple of Euros that he refused.
He told me that tourists always seem the hit the same curb I did. He said he sees a lot of punctured tires.
By the end of the first week I was driving with no problem. Remembering to look to my left first at intersections, pulling into the left lane when making a right hand turn etc. Sometimes large trucks or buses would be coming at me in my lane and their was no place to go. I would just pull over and stop, no point in arguing with the big guys.
The GPS in the car got me lost in Dublin, telling me to turn the wrong way into one way streets etc. Finally I turned the darn thing off and asked a local. Should have done that in the first place.
Lots to talk about from Ireland as well. For now I will just say that the Book of Kells and the Cliffs of Moher were both amazing. It was cold and rainy a lot there, a cold country filled with warm people.

I know it's true, just trying not to destroy your reputation around here.
I have a reputation?
When I make a right turn I automatically turn into the right lane. In Britain you drive on the left side of the road. I had to turn off auto pilot and pull into the left lane when turning.

Oh ok, I interpreted it as the right turning lane was on the left prior to the turn.
