I’m comparing driving in Canada vs driving in Nepal. In Nepal the steering wheel is on the right side and in Canada the steering wheel is on the left side. We drive in Canada on the left side and in Nepal we drive on the right side. In Canada, we have traffic signals, pedestrian signs, bike roads and walkways for all the citizens to be comfortable. In Nepal, only the capital city of Nepal has traffic signals, the rest of Nepal doesn’t have traffic signals and we have traffic police to direct us. We don’t have walkways, we just walk on the same road as car travels and no pedestrian signs. We just cross the road when it’s safe to cross.
