You're so right, I've been living abroad in Thailand for the last 15 years, and before that was backpacking, and I actually hadn't really considered all the different things I've gotten used to. Thanks for pointing this out!!

Oh yes, and the things that you used to think were critical in your life are now just in memory!

Driving on the right in Europe is now normal for me (I'm from the UK where we drive on the left) but I still have this niggling fear that one day I will just drive out on the wrong side and cause an accident.

The timing of this note is uncanny, Matthew! Just today we rented a scooter in Cambodia, and this was the first time we have driven on the right side of the road in I don't know how long. Of course, within the first two blocks I stayed in the left lane way too long, until my wife so carefully said move the hell over! Even so, it only takes me a short time to get used to whatever Lane I'm driving in.
