@Gina Be very careful crossing streets on foot - I've nearly been run over several times looking the wrong way for cars.

@Gina It is very weird, but I think you'll get used to it pretty quickly. We had a tough time with left turns in Melbourne but otherwise it went pretty smoothlyt

@Gina Not a bad outcome for just a 5min drive 😁 Those massive potholes still exist? But now even around Capetown? I almost miss them..

@Gina Visiting a friend who moved to Ireland, he explained how it took him a few months to get used to driving on the left. As he pulled onto the right side of the road. For the first of 4-5 times in a 20 min drive.He said that speaking French surely didn't help, so maybe speaking English will help cement being in South Africa? Good luck!

@Gina I already was in UK and the hardest is when you start the day driving in a road without car. You strart driving on the right hand side

@jens @seachaint it's in Limburg! Quite steep too, like a 2% slope.
