Which Side Should I Walk On?


OK, driving on the right or left is pretty arbitrary and you just have to accept the local rules wherever you are. But what about walking? Growing up in the States, I came to understand that most of the time people tend to walk on the right, the same as driving. This rule seems to work on sidewalks and supermarket aisles.

Not here! I was, and still am, surprised to find that there is no left-walking rule here. People walk all over the place. When the supermarket has two doors, shoppers go in and out of both doors all the time.
