Is it Right to Left or Left to Right?

Japanese write from right to left (and up and down in columns). So maps are written in a similar direction. Still takes me a while to orient myself with a map and read it almost backwards.

The Japanese also drive on the opposite side of the road from the US. So we have to keep remembering to walk on the left side of the sidewalk so that we don't get mowed over by bikes.
