More weird things.

• Some American cars don't have indicator lights. They just flash the brake light.



• Driving on the other side of the road feels less weird than I thought it would. The hardest thing is roundabouts. The other trick is "long left, short right" for turning left or right around corners.



• Robert's car automatically locks when you put it into Drive.



• They are a lot of really, really big utes on the roads.



• The road verges are very messy. they are full of weeds and not cut. The roundabouts have haphazard bushes on them



• There are a lot of food vans tucked into little bits of unused road space selling Mexican food. The local name for them is "roach coach" Yuck.



• Traffic lights are funny. Instead of having the turning arrows to one side of the main set of lights, they are all in a vertical row. Stop, Caution, Go, Left, Right.



• Most houses don't have a driveway entrance, the kerb just rounds off a bit and that's it.



• American drivers are less aggressive on the roads. A lot less road rage. I guess it that some American carry guns in their cars.



• Americans have trouble with our accent. If you spell 'a' they think you are saying 'i'. So my name is now spelt indrew !



• The price of petrol here is about $3 / US gallon. Which works out to about 79c/litre and they complained when it went up to $4 / gallon. ($1.05/litre)



• They can't make good coffee.



• Ever.

That's about all I can think of at the moment. I'll try and get some more photos of things and post them tomorrow.
