I've been here 5 months and I STILL keep getting muddled about the date. Although funnily enough I got the hang of cars driving on the wrong side of the road pretty quickly... Lord =I=

As far driving on the wrong side of the road, I'm with Hena: you have it backwards (although if the theory I heard is correct, I do understand why). The other thing I find curious is that, as far as I know, we are the only country that still uses English (which you call Imperial) measurements. I know most of the conversions to metric, but it will never be second nature to me as inches, feet, yards, ounces (liquid), pints, quarts, gallons, pounds etc. are to me. _________________ "I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate."

But its you English (and Japanese as well I think) that drive on the wrong side of the roads. But I quess that having to use pounds and ounces and stones makes one odd . I still don't know how much I weight in stones . Edit: When I was in England in 1999 for exchange student. I managed to make a store keeper frustrated. You see they had this sign that said prices in kilos as well as pounds. And I always went there to ask things in grams (mainly ground beef in 3-400 grams). Eventually they counted the weight for me in pounds and said, please ask this next time . The British, the Japanese, Indians, Australians, etc.  AND the Maltese drive on the correct side of the road, the rest of you do it wrong ? _________________ Back from oblivion (again)?
