Driving on the wrong side of the road

I had a chance to drive in the Turks.

They have a saying: ” Left side is the right side, Right side is suicide”

Driving on the left side is the easy part. I have done that a bunch of times on the scooters in Bermuda.

What is fucked up, is the wheel on the right side. The shifter is on the left. The blinker is on the right and the wipers on the left. Geez.

So when you panic and try to make a turn, all you do is turn the wipers on. Then when you figure out the right side to find the turn signal. you have to push it up to go left and down for right. it is anything but intuitive. You look left to see through the rear view mirror. That is way too fucked up too. You know how you turn around a little to look behind you when you back up? well when you do it on the right side you hit your elbow and smash your face on the window.

The good news was, that the more I drank and drove around, the better I got.

Observations from abroad:

They care more about our presidential election than we do. Our economy affects  them more i guess.

The ice was bad. too small and it had wholes in it. It melted way to fast.

Too many cabs for too few people.

Duty free stuff just shows you how much we are taxed for stuff.

They have soccer playing on every TV.
