Culture Shock?

I'm not feeling particularly culture shocked right now (this is potentially because I'm already more Asian than I am Western?) but there is one thing that keeps tripping me out unbelievably.

You know that awkward moment when you're walking on a narrow footpath and you try to get past another person, and you both go left, then right, then left again. Then you laugh, both go left again and pause before one person finally has the nerve to shove past the other? Well that keeps happening. About 20 times a day.

In Taiwan people drive on the right hand side of the road, so they always go right. But my Australian brain keeps telling me to go left, it's mental.
