Before coming here, I was significantly
concerned about driving in South Africa for two reasons:- Driving on the left side of the road
- Driving a manual transmission

| Right-hand drive. |
What I expected to be the greatest stressor has actually become my greatest satisfaction. Though challenging at first, I have come to enjoy driving a standard far more than an automatic. It is a more engaging driving experience, a deeper integration between will and vehicle. As I developed confidence, nervousness gave way to a deep contentment, even thrill.
