Driving and walking on the left side is the rule in Australia.
Although we arrived home to Stockholm almost a week ago, today feels like the first day of being back to normal life thanks to the Easter holiday and jet lag. Here in Sweden, half of Thursday, as well as Friday and Monday, were holidays.
I spent the first few days getting in everyone’s way as I kept trying to walk on the left hand side of the sidewalk and stand on the left side of the escalator. When one person literally moved me out of his way, I felt like telling him I was walking on the right side of the road for Australia and that he should give me a break. But now I am fully adjusted and walking on the right and proper side of the path. Somehow, that kind of makes me sad though as that means the holiday is over.
