Hmmm…something is awkward

I’m confused.  As I looked down from the window on the airplane.  I noticed something that differs United Kingdom from most of all the countries in the world.

As soon as I got out of the airport and hopped on the train to head to the hotel, I looked out the window and noticed something awkward.  Hmmm…the roads just didn’t seem right.  The drivers’ seats seemed to be on the wrong side.  Then, I noticed that the drivers were driving on the other side of the road!  Wow!

In United Kingdom, the drivers drive on the left side of the road unlike most other countries in the world, including US.  The drivers’ seats are on the opposite side too.  I wonder why it’s that way in England?  I was told by quite a few people that England just wanted to be different.

I also noticed that there are painted road signs that says “LOOK RIGHT->”  Hmmm….I wonder if that was done purposely for tourists who come from other countries?
