the cars in japan

I cannot believe that they've given me a car here...driving is terrifying.  It's kind of like being 15 again, just out of driver's training, and having to think really hard about each move that you make.  Notice that I'm sitting on the right side of the car, and, driving on the left side of the road.  I can't tell you the number of times that I've reached over my left shoulder for my seatbelt, or used my windshield wipers as a turn signal.  Multiple times throughout the day, I am driving down the street, laughing out loud with windshield wipers wiping back and forth over a dry windshield as I turn without a signal.  Crazy american drivers...think I'll be spending a lot of time on foot and trains.
