Is driving actually kind of easy in Japan for this reason? I’ve never had a car while there. It’s wild how different Japan and China are despite being neighbors. I can’t think of a European neighbor pair that is so different.
But to play your game, Switzerland and Italy, especially southern Italy, are very different.
And going back to the original intent: would you say driving in Zurich and driving in Naples are two distinct experiences?
I mean, Europe had an iron curtain for decades and that shows at the boundaries.
