Our Nissan Cube and Honda CR-V












Driving is completely opposite here than in the states. We drive on the left and our steering wheel is on the right and our blinkers and wipers are opposite. It took about a week to get use to driving on the wrong side of the road, but now it seems weird if we were to drive on the right. Funny how that happens. And we both love driving the Cube, cause you have plenty of room inside and we fit in with all the other cars here. The roads are really narrow and a lot of times you have to nudge your car out pretty far at a stop sign because the shrubbery is blocking your view. So they have these huge mirrors all over the place to help you see. Although I still don't really trust them. And in the last picture, the upside down red triangle is our stop sign which can be hard to miss at times. The top 40 sign is the speed limit which is in km per hour. 40 tends to be the average speed limit around here which seems really slow since km per hour is even slower than miles per hour.

The Cube looks fun! Can't wait to come over and take a ride with you and Tig. Didn't know Tig could actually drive under 40 mph! He goes that fast just backing out of the driveway!!! Love ya Dr. Tig.
