Other Random Differences
- Dogs often go without leashes, they just walk beside the owners a lot even though it is the law to use leashes
- Helmets for motorcycles are required
- Walking happens on the left side of the sidewalk which took some time to get used to
- Crosswalks are a lot shorter and they don’t tell you how much time you have to cross the street
