After walking around South Africa today I have come to a realization that we have a problem that people need to discuss. In America, we always walk on the right side of the road and we also drive on the right side of the road. Anytime we are coming from opposite directions from another person, each person yields to the right to let the other person pass. This is how things work...
Here is the problem: in other countries, some people walk on the left, and some walk on the right. The right way to walk is not always the "right" of way. Bahamas and South Africa have both driven on the left side of the road and the people seem to be just as confused as I am. There needs to be international law.
I dont know if everyone should walk on the right side, the left side, or with however the accepted side of the way you drive on but we need some resolution here. I'm tired of dancing back and forth with people in awkward situations that no one seems to know the answer to which side we should yield to.
I think Im gonna stick with the right way. I just wish I knew which way the right way was?

Oh my goodness I agree with you 100%! Here in the UK they drive on the left so at the beginning I just assumed they must walk on the left but even til this day people are still getting confused about which side to yield to. You'd think the country could make up their minds about which side they like to travel on. I now no longer care and walk on the right side. Every now and again I get into a shimmy with someone but I have asked and not even the English know how they are to travel. Maybe I will write Parliament!

Kevin, I know you, Anna, etc are
having a wonderful time in Capetown, but you are neglecting your blog readers. If you don't
keep us updated about your adventures, I will have to give you
a time-out to get caught up when I see you in Viet Nam!
