Walk on the Left (greetings from Dublin)

I attempt to be respectful of local walking ettiquette, therefore in such countries as Ireland (where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road) I figure that pedestrians would follow that pattern and kind of stick to the left side of the sidewalk. I think this is a generally followed pattern. Walk up the left side of the stairs, yield to the left on the sidewalk, the escalators go up to the left and down to the right, etc. Of course there are always those that forge their own path. Maybe they're not drivers and hence have not been encultured to choose a side.

Anyway, the coolest thing (in pedestrian terms) about Dublin is the cross walk signals. As the signal waits to go green it makes an electronic ticking sound. Then as it turns, it emits a spacey zapping sound to send you on your way across the street (kind of like "zzzshooooooo!"). I'll have pictures and maybe video clips later in the week.

Well, back to the streets for me...
