Now, back in the states, when I am a little tired, or in a confusing situation, or there is no traffic to give me any cues, all of a sudden, I flash and think that I am on the wrong side of the road.  I am on the right side of the road. I am doing nothing wrong.  My subconcious just jumps in and does a &#8220;gut check&#8221; to make sure that I am driving correctly.<br \/>\nThis never happened while driving in Australia.  Everything seemed perfectly natural while driving there.<br \/>\nAll I can guess is that little bits of hardwired code deep in my brain are being reprogrammed to handle driving on either side of the road &#8211; once in a while these reprogramming actions are noticable (i.e. a few neurons are being rebooted with a different Spring configuration).<br \/>\nDamn weird how the human brain works.  It will be interesting to see how long these little flash backs last.
