When I rented a car there, I had to keep focused ALL the time. Not much opportunity to gaze out the window at the passing country side.
I found the most of the rental cars were manual transmission and although I knew how to drive a stick shift, I had forgotten how difficult it was to start from a stop going up a hill. I finally figured out to use the hand emergency brake as an aid to prevent rolling backwards. I also found that I frequently looked up and to the right out the door when I intended to look at the rear view mirror, where the mirror is on our cars. And one of the hardest things was judging how to pull into a 90 degree parking place with the steering wheel on the "opposite" side of the car. But after a week, I became more comfortable and handled everything but the REALLY narrow roads in the country side.
