I have totally lost my sense of direction here! The roads are so different from US that my brain is totally confused by the direction of which way I need to look! As I head to a tram stop, I’m always about to head to the stop that goes in the opposite direction of where I want to go! Before I cross the street, I always have to look both sides with extra cautious as my brain is too fried to know which way to look first. When I was staying with a family prior to SCAD’s group trip in Sydney, I have often times accidentally opened the door to the driver’s seat…WHOOOPS!
Road signs are quite different including the pedestrian signs. As I was driving through the Great Ocean Road, I saw a kangaroo sign! Unfortunately, I was not able to snap a shot of that sign, but hopefully when I’m in Adelaide. I also saw quite a few signs saying “DRIVE ON THE LEFT IN AUSTRALIA!” Heeeeheeeee!
I also noticed that several people in Sydney drive mopeds. That’s a very typical European lifestyle!
