In early 2001, my wife and I visited the beautiful country of New Zealand. The travel books told us to be aware that traffic flows opposite from the US. When we collected our rental car in Invercargill, there was a sticker near the steering wheel that read: "To stay alive, drive on the left!". We had a good laugh and drove away from the airport. We soon discovered that the raised middle finger was international. :)

You probably also saw the arrows on the road itself as a reminder of the correct direction of travel. Those are always near any places tourists are likely to stop, since after a break it's common to forget which side to be on.

Yes, and they were a much needed reminder. After a couple of days we had the direction figured out, although I still got confused entering a parking lot sometimes.

The euro was great for Germany. Others weren't that happy.

Your comment is grey because people are downvoting you. But you're right, and it makes me think HN has more ignoramus than curious hackers... It's economics: https://seekingalpha.com/article/564881-how-germany-benefite... https://archive.nytimes.com/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/0...

Would you please stop posting low-value comments that break the site guidelines? They explicitly ask you not to (a) go on about downvotes or (b) sneer at the rest of the community.

NIMBYism in a nutshell.

Downvoted, but the down-voters have’t given thought to how closely coorelated this is.

Maybe people just thought it's too far off topic + suddenly turning unrelated discussion into US politics...
