Oops, did I do that wrong?
Please note: I am deserving of applause.Yes, you did read that correctly. I did indeed say that, basically, you should congratulate me.
Why?
Well... for the first since entering the USA, I managed to look the "right" way before crossing the streets, which actually is looking left first. There is nothing right about it at all... and only the other day I nearly got splattered when I stepped out thinking all was clear and, well, it wasn't.
So, word to the wise (or to the unwise...), be careful. One of the problems of moving all around is you get a little confused after a while, literally.
Beyond that... of all the places in the world I have been and lived or studied or travelled or... yeah, you get the idea... I have discovered that there is only one place that I am allergic to, and apparently, that is NY at the end of May when its hot and humid and the air is practically fuzzy from all the stuff floating around in it. Goodness. My eyes are watery and red; my nose itches; my throat hurts, and suddenly all those boring (though sometimes comical) adverts on the telly make sense.
And finally (for now...), I had a lovely discussion with someone this morning all about the Eurovision Song Contest (held in Helsinki this year and won by Serbia), and it was quite amusing, especially discussing the blatant politics of it all... Warmed my heart.

You're right, I'm left wondering when it is safe to walk across the street or drive on the street. The rights of the right of way get left out of the picture except for when the pedestrians use their left legs the right way. But if they do that are they walking backwards? jgh
