While crossing the road here in London, someone asked me, "Why do you look left and right? It is enough to look only to your right. Unless you are at a crossroad."
I replied, "I come from India!" She did not have anything else to ask or say!
Honestly traffic here in London is quite busy, but very very orderly. It is a week since I landed in London and my room is next to the road. I've been out almost every day but I am yet to hear a vehicle honk! Drivers are very polite and smooth. They wait, let others pass straight rather than sneak in fast or the little window they get.
I'd be getting a few driving lessons from this weekend - thanks to Fr John who arranged for someone to assist me. However, with the Indian driving license I can drive for one year. But as I was telling Fr Sean yesterday, it is not driving that I need to learn, but driving as per rules!

...that's more like an Indian driving scenario! |
