I also grew up with a roundabout close by-- two blocks from my house (in Coral Gables, FL) and when I moved overseas (especially in the Bahamas, where they drive on the WRONG side of the street) I experienced them as well. Now I am very comfortable with them, although I always keep in the back of my mind that others might not feel comfortable with 'em.
