The other side of the road

Everything in Australia is basically the complete opposite of back home. It's summer right now for starters but hey, I'm not complaining. Also, they use the metric system which has made me have to think way too much. Why hasn't the U.S. been using it like the rest of the world!? Oh well. Anyway, the most noticeable difference is that cars here are driven on the left side of the road. I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten run over because I look the wrong way before crossing the street. After going to visit Jo's brother Grant, I got behind the wheel and drove us home. I gripped the steering wheel as hard as I could, drove below the speed limit and didn't allow myself to blink. It was like I was 15 years old again driving around Coral Springs with my permit. Since I'm writing this post, I guess it's obvious I made it home in one piece. Yay!
