[thechat] No Roundabouts In Japan?

[Ashok Hariharan]

Nairobi is full of roundabouts (and supposedly the biggest roundabout in 
Africa), we even have the nightmare known as "the roundabout with traffic 
lights" -- but I found roundabouts to be fine once you get used to the 
"right-of-way" rules.

The craziest roundabouts are in rwanda, where everyone drives on the right 
hand side, so the people entering the roundabout have right of way! (for 
the first time, I found myself stopping on a roundabout...).
Though the most terrible thing that happened was when i drove a car for 
the first time in rwanda; forgetting that people drove on the right, i 
entered the roundabout from the wrong direction (the left) and found 
myself head-to-head with a bus, and wondering why the idiot in the bus was 
driving on the wrong side!
