ixpfah, having worked with an Australian most of last year, I kept hearing the same question: why don't we in the US switch to metric? To which I would respond, why do Aussies drive on the wrong side of the road? Went to Denmark last year. Haven't been to Sweden yet but it is on my list. By the way, why do you guys race motorcycles on ice??

Suppoesed to be a joke, Tony. Lived in Tokyo when I was very young. As an adult, my first cab ride in Sydney had me stomping a hole in the floor board looking for the brake peddle.
Sure, take it. I already have one, so I'd rather you get one too.Originally posted by timdennis
I missed out on this-but if Ixpfah does not want that last shirt I'd like to get it.
First time I was there was in 79. Traffic wasn't any worse than that of Taipei. Last time I was there was in 96. Traffic was heavy, but they certainly keep better sense of flow than NYC. And no freeway shootings like in LA either.Originally posted by navajo
[BLast time I was in Japan was 1969. Bound to have a lot worse traffic by now. [/B]
