The Mezzanine

My first month in the US I almost got run over by a pack of skaters because I was instinctively walking along the left side of a promenade instead of the right. If they hadn't yelled at me, I might still be doing it "wrong".

I noticed at my university that if I'm walking through a corridor, turn a blind corner and bump into someone, more often than not it'll be an international student I run into. And they'll be following the left wall instead of the right.


I'm curious now. How DO Germans close their windows.
