Which Popular Tourist Destinations Drive on the Left?

Only a third of the world’s nations drive on the left side of the road – here are the most popular and visited to keep you on track.

While around two thirds of the world’s nations follow right hand traffic (RHT) by driving on the right side of the road , many of the world’s most popular tourist destinations do in fact drive on the left side, following the rules of left-hand traffic (LHT). In fact, there are 54 destinations that drive on the left, equaling around a third of the global population.

The majority of left-hand traffic nations are former British colonies , such as the Caribbean Nations, Australia , India and South Africa, who continue to keep up the age-old British tradition for left side driving. Many are also island nations without borders into right-driving nations, so there has not been a need to change driving rules to allow for easier passage from one country to the next. Here are a handful of the best-known and most popular left-hand traffic following nations. 

The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has a long history for driving on the left, one that is traced all the way back to Roman times. Given that most people were right-handed, the concept of riding a horse on the left side became common practice in order for the right hand to be ready for attack in case of an unexpected ambush. In 1300 CE Pope Boniface VIII sanctioned an official ‘rule of the road’ in order to keep all travelers on the left side of the road.

Even when wagons became the primary means of transport, the left side of the road remained commonplace in the UK, allowing drivers seated at the back and to the left to keep their right whipping hand free. During the 18 th century, a law was passed ruling all traffic in London to remain on the left, a rule that was brought into the Highway Act of 1835, leading it to spread throughout Britain, where it remains firmly in place.

There are several arguments for why Japan adopted left hand driving. Some Japanese people believe its origin can be traced back to the samurai , who wore their swords on the left, and would draw it out with their right hand if they met an attacker in one of the country’s narrow, winding streets. This meant warriors riding on horseback would be free to pull out their sword at the first sign of attack. During the 19 th century, Japan forged a strong relationship with the UK. They assisted Japan in establishing an industrialized transport system, including a complex railway network based on left-hand traffic. This cemented the British tradition for left-hand traffic within Japanese society. 

As a British colony until 1901, Australia adopted left-hand traffic simply because they were once under British rule. Early road and rail systems were built around a left-hand traffic system which has remained in place to this day. The tradition is just one example of the close and ongoing relationship that exists between the UK and Australia, despite the fact that Australia is fully independent today.

South Africa

Much like Australia, South Africa’s former role as part of the British Empire means many of its earliest travel systems were established under British leadership, meaning the UK tradition for left-hand traffic became commonplace. While other areas of Africa have adopted right-hand traffic, it is worth noting South Africa’s separate left-side oriented traffic laws, which were written into the National Road Traffic Act of 1996. 

New Zealand

Like Australia and South Africa, New Zealand adopted the ‘keep to the left’ rule during British colonial times. During the late 19 th and early 20 th century New Zealand made gradual steps towards independence, and became ratified in 1947. However, despite the dramatic political shifts, today New Zealand keeps left-hand traffic in place. 

Another former British colony, India continues with left-hand traffic as a result of its history under British rule. While India passed the Indian Independence Act in 1947 , left-hand traffic has remained as a small signifier of the nation’s long and complicated history.

Sending postcards to friends, family, or loved ones during travel can be a great way to show your affection, as well as giving people an idea of where you are. Picking a postcard with the right image, and understanding the typical layout of postcards, will ensure that your note reaches the correct person. Also, knowing how to construct a message to your recipient in a way that captures your trip without running out of room will make the postcard worthwhile for both of you.

Formatting Your Postcard

• Postcards can be found at any souvenir store, grocery stores, or on the streets of popular tourist areas.

Tip: If you are travelling, find a postcard with a photograph of your favorite place so far on your trip.

• Do not write on the front of the postcard, as the postal service won’t look for information on the front.
• Make your writing as clear and legible as possible. Use a ballpoint pen rather than a felt tip pen; it is less likely to smear if it gets wet.

• You can purchase stamps at any post office.
• Make sure that you put the stamp in the back of the postcard in the top-right corner. Putting it anywhere else increases the chances of the card getting lost.

• July 4, 2017
• Grand Canyon, Arizona

• If you want to be formal, write: “Dear, (name)."
• If you want to be less formal, you could start with “Hello, (name)!"

Tip: After writing your message, do not forget to sign your name on the bottom left of the postcard, too.

Writing the Postcard

• Add as many details as possible but be conscious of how much room you have.
• If the card is from a specific place on your trip, such as the Grand Canyon, consider limiting your description to that place. You can always send more postcards from other places.

• “I’ve been thinking about you."
• “I wish you were here with me!”

Tip: Beginning with your thoughts of the other person will make them feel loved.

Note: You don't have to be detailed. Something short, like "It is so hot here!" or "It was so cold, I needed two coats!" would be plenty.

• This is not absolutely necessary, but it's a great idea if the meal is something that the location is famous for.

• If you plan to head home soon, end the card with, “I’ll see you soon,” or, “I can’t wait to see you!”

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Tip: If you need to write to someone about something personal, consider writing a letter instead. Remember, the information on the back of the postcard is visible.

• If you have too much to write about, consider sending a letter in addition to the postcard. Keep the message short and brief on the card, and write a longer message in a letter.

Tip: If you will be moving a lot during your trip, skip the return address. By the time the person receives your postcard and sends a letter back, you may have moved on.

• The note itself does not have to be too neat, as long as your recipient can read it.

About This Article

To write a postcard, choose a postcard with an image that represents your travels, like a photo of the Eiffel Tower if you're vacationing in France. Flip the postcard over and write the recipient's name and address on the lines provided on the right side of the postcard. Next, write a brief message to the recipient on the left side. Keep in mind that this message will be visible to everyone, since postcards aren't mailed in an envelope! Then, add the postage to the top right and mail it off!

How to give and understand directions in English

Learn to give and ask for directions in English in an easy, fun way. Enroll in ABA English’s free course to master useful English expressions and much more and join our more than 30 million students.

Giving Directions on the Street in English

In today’s world, full of technology, GPS, and digital maps, everything seems easier. Wherever we may find ourselves in the world at any moment of the day, we can activate our devices to find the correct address. Those times when you would assess the passers-by with the hope of identifying the right person to ask for directions. seem to be almost forgotten. That person who looked as if they knew everything about the area, a local resident who gave off an air of reliability and availability was the one you were looking for.

Are those times over? The answer is no. Even today, we can often find ourselves lost in an unknown city asking for directions. It is also increasingly common for tourists to stop us on the street because they are looking for a restaurant or archaeological site. After all, it is possible for your phone to stop working or for the battery to run out earlier than expected. Then there are those who prefer to talk to passers-by, partly because they do not like technology and partly because they prefer human contact. For those that want to learn English, asking for and giving directions is an excellent way to practice the language.

To give or receive directions correctly, however, it is very important to understand what we are being told and what to say in response. Otherwise, we can risk sending an unfortunate tourist one kilometre to the west when they were looking for a pub that is twenty metres to the east. That is why we have decided to offer you this small guide so that you can become an experienced “road sign” and can understand any instruction given by others in English.

Once you’re outside the tourist information center, take Willow Lane all the way up to Pine Street. You want to go left along here, then keep walking and go up mountain road on your right until you come to the next, turning on the left head down there and you’ll come to the climbing supplies store . If you get to the small building that sell ski passes, you’ll know you’ve gone too far. You also need to head to Pine Street for the museum. It’s small but well worth a visit if you’re interested in the history of the village and the old gold mining industry. So Q13 when you reach Pine Street from here, you’ll see the old railway line on the other side of the road. Turn left into Pine Street and keep going until you come to Mountain Road and just past here, the museum will be on your left, just behind the railway line . Don’t worry about crossing over the tracks. The train stopped running through here in 1985. If you’re planning on following one of the easier forest walks, you might like to hire a bicycle. Q14 To get to the higher shop again, you need to head to Pine Street on the left-hand side of Pine Street. You’ll see the town hall go down the little road that you come to just before it and you’ll find a bike hire shop just behind the hall . They have a good range of bikes, so I’m sure you’ll find something that suits your needs. Last but not least, if you’re hungry after a long day’s trek, I can recommend our local cafe again. Q15 When you leave the tourist information center, turn right and follow Willow Lane until it joins Pine Street. And right opposite, on the far side of the railway tracks, is the cafe .

Okay, let me tell you a little bit about the different tracks we have here. All of them. Start at the end of Mountain Road and you’ll find a parking lot there where you can leave your vehicles. Let’s start with Q16 North Point track. It’s a gentle route through lowland forest, good for biking and probably the one for you. If you have small Children, there’s a wooden hut where you can stay at the end of the track . But be aware that it’s really just an overnight shelter, and you’ll need to take your own sleeping bags and cooking equipment. Another option is the Silver River Track. As the name suggests, Q17 you’d be following the river from most of the way, and you get to see some of our beautiful native birds. But the track also goes through a densely forested area. Unfortunately, the signposting isn’t very good in places, and you do need good map-reading skills to avoid becoming disoriented, which happens to visitors a little too frequently . Q18 I’m afraid Valley Crossing will take you through some stunning scenery, but there are several points along the way where you’ll need the level of fitness required to get over some pretty big rocks . Q19 Stonebridge is one of the shorter tracks, but very steep is it takes you up to the waterfall, and you do need to be in good condition to manage it . Lastly, Q20 the Henderson Ridge track will take you all the way to the summit of the mountain. Do bear in mind, though, that at this time of year, the weather is very changeable, and if the clouds suddenly descend, it’s all too easy to wander off the track. It’s best to check with us for a weather report on the morning . You think you want to go on the way to the summit. There’s a hotel which provides comfortable rooms and quality meals, so it’s worth climbing.

What to Know and Do About Right Side Abdominal Pain

• Organs in the Right Abdomen
• Pain Causes
• When to Be Concerned

Pain on the right side of the abdomen—the part of your body between your chest and groin—is relatively common and often not a sign of anything too serious. The pain can be a sign of gas or indigestion , conditions which tend to resolve on their own within a couple days. That said, if the pain is severe or persistent, a more serious issue may be at the root of the discomfort.

Among these more serious issues are appendicitis , gallstones , and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It’s important to understand the potential causes of right side pain to help you recognize when it might be serious and how it can be treated.

What Organs Are On Your Right Side?

To understand what causes right side abdominal pain, it’s important to know what body parts are in that area. Here’s a breakdown of the major organs found there:

• Liver: Sitting just below the rib-cage and about the size of a football, the liver helps with digestion and the filtering of blood.
• Gallbladder: Found below the lever, the gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that stores bile, a liquid essential for digestion.
• Pancreas: Key for digestion and blood sugar regulation, the pancreas stretches across the abdomen beneath the liver.
• Duodenum: This part of the small intestine is a jointed tube that connects to the stomach. It aids in digestion by mixing food with bile and digestive juices.
• Right kidney: Found below the diaphragm and behind the liver, the right kidney is bean-shaped and, along with the left kidney, helps filter blood of waste and excess liquid to produce urine.  
• Ascending colon: The ascending colon is part of the large intestine, rising from its origin at the cecum (the pouch near where the small and large intestines connect) before bending left to cross the abdomen.
• Appendix: Connected to the large intestine, the appendix is a small, thin tube. Its function within the body is not fully understood.
• Right ovary: Ovaries are a pair of oval-shaped glands in the female reproductive system that sit on either side of the uterus. The ovaries produce and store your eggs.
• Right fallopian tube: Fallopian tubes are a pair of tubes in the female reproductive system that sit on either side of the uterus. These are the tubes eggs travel down when going from the ovary to the uterus.

Potential Causes of Right Abdominal Pain

Right side abdominal pain arises when nerves in the organs send pain messaging to the brain. A wide range of conditions—from minor digestion problems to serious diseases—can cause this.

A common and often harmless cause of right-side abdominal pain is the buildup of intestinal gas. Bloating, or the feeling that your belly is full , and distention, when your abdomen swells, are among the symptoms. Bloating and distention can cause pain.

Gas arises for many reasons, including:

• Swallowed air, due to eating too fast, chewing gum, or drinking carbonated beverages
• The breakdown of undigested carbohydrates in the small intestine
• Lactose intolerance
• Gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine
• Constipation
• Celiac disease , which is an immune reaction to eating gluten
• Obstruction of the intestines due to colorectal cancer or other conditions
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Indigestion

Another cause of right-side abdominal pain is indigestion, clinically known as dyspepsia. This is a group of symptoms that arise after eating. Along with pain, indigestion can cause burning in the chest, fullness while eating or an uncomfortable feeling afterward, burping, gas, and nausea .

Indigestion is usually not anything serious, though certain diseases can cause it. Indigestion can be brought on by:

• Drinking too much alcohol, coffee, or carbonated beverages
• Eating too quickly
• Consuming too many spicy, fatty, or greasy foods
• Eating foods highly acidic foods, such as tomatoes and citrus
• Experiencing stress
• Taking certain antibiotics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as Motrin (ibuprofen)
• Having conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastritis or acid reflux

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, which can cause blockages in the digestive system. Pain in the abdomen, especially around the belly button, that gets sharper over time is one of the first tell-tale signs of appendicitis . The pain then tends to migrate to the right side of the abdomen, and other symptoms develop, such as:

• Loss of appetite

Kidney Infection

Also known as pyelonephritis, kidney infection is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that travels from the bladder to the kidneys. Kidney infections and other UTIs can be caused by bacterium. Besides right side abdominal pain, symptoms of kidney infection include chills, fever, and painful urination.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones, or nephrolithiasis , occur when a solid, crystallized material forms in the kidney. The stones can sometimes pass from the body without incident. However, if the stones block the urinary tract and, in turn, urine, pain in the back or side can occur. The pain may be brief or long-lasting. It may also come in waves.

Additional symptoms of kidney stones include:

• Blood in the urine
• Fever and/or chills
• Cloudy appearance to urine, often with a foul odor
• Burning during urination

A gallstone is the formation of a hard material in your gallbladder. The condition might not cause any symptoms. However, if gallstones block the gallbladder's bile ducts, they can lead to a gallbladder attack . Sometimes referred to as biliary colic, a gallbladder attack can cause upper right abdominal pain. The pain can last for several hours and tends to arise after eating or in the evening. Nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and eyes), light-colored stools (poop), and dark brown urine are additional symptoms you may experience.   

A hernia is a sac that can develop when organs push through weak areas or holes in tissues or walls. Hernias can happen in different places of the body, including the abdomen. A hernia can be a source of pain. It can also cause the following:

• Bulging or swelling in the abdomen
• Pain worsening with lifting, coughing, laughing, or straining
• A feeling of fullness

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Pain in the abdomen can be a hallmark of IBS. Since IBS is a collection of symptoms, you might also experience nausea, changes in your bowel movements, diarrhea, and constipation. The pain of IBS is often associated with your bowel movements and the changes to them.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Encompassing two conditions— Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—IBD causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. When the small intestine or colon are affected, right abdominal pain can arise. Other potential symptoms are nausea, cramping, bloody stool , weight loss, and fatigue.

Menstrual Cramps

People experiencing menstruation may feel a throbbing pain in their lower abdomen in the days leading up to and during their period. The cramps are caused by the tightening and relaxing of your uterine muscles. These muscles cramp if your uterus makes too much of the chemical known as prostaglandin.

Among women who have a menstrual cycle, 20% will experience pain on one side of their lower abdomen during ovulation . This pain can be felt on the left or right side. The side on which you feel the pain can change from month to month or it may stick to one side. The pain is known as mittelschmerz.

Ovulation is the time in the middle of your menstrual cycle when an ovary releases an egg. You can experience the sharp, cramp-like pain before ovulation, as the follicle where the egg is growing stretches the ovary's surface. Or, you can feel the pain during ovulation, when fluid or blood from the ruptured egg follicle may irritate your abdominal lining.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition in which there’s abnormal growth of tissue outside the uterus. People with endometriosis are 13 times likelier to experience abdominal pain than people without the condition. In addition to chronic abdominal pain, endometriosis might cause bloating, constipation, very painful periods , and infertility.

Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the ovaries. They usually don't cause any symptoms. If they do cause symptoms, you might have a dull pain in the lower abdomen on the side of the cyst. The pain may be sharp or dull, and it may come and go.

You can feel sudden, sharp pain if the cyst bursts . You may also have pain if the weight of the cyst causes the ovary to twist.

Ectopic Pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg is implanted outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding and one-sided pelvic cramping. If there is a rupture and bleeding in the area around the area, you might then experience severe, sharp, sudden pain in the lower abdomen .

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

PID is inflammation in the pelvis due to an infection , typically a sexually transmitted infection like chlamydia or gonorrhea . PID can cause pain in your lower abdomen. Other symptoms may include fever, unusual vaginal discharge, and bad vaginal odor.

Ovarian Torsion

Ovarian torsion occurs when the ovary twists over its supporting ligaments and there is a loss of blood supply to the ovary or fallopian tube. The most common symptom is pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis. The pain may be sharp or dull and it may be constant or come in and out. Sometimes, the pain can move to higher up in the abdomen.

Testicular Torsion

Testicular torsion occurs when a testicle wraps around a bundle of tissues in the abdomen called the spermatic chord. This can cut off blood circulation to the testicle, which can cause severe pain and swelling in the scrotum. There might also be pain in the lower abdomen. A medical emergency, testicular torsion can also cause:

• Redness of the scrotum
• Nausea and vomiting
• Uneven testicles

How Do You Know If Right Side Abdominal Pain is Serious?

Since right side abdominal pain can be a sign of a more serious issue, it’s important to know when the symptom requires medical attention. If your pain last a week or longer or if your pain worsens over a day or two and is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, you should see a healthcare provider.

If you experience any of the following alongside your pain, you'll also want to see a healthcare provider:

• Bloating that lasts 48 hours or more
• Frequent urination or burning while you urinate
• Diarrhea lasting five days or longer
• Fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in adults
• Fever over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit in children or infants
• Loss of appetite for a prolonged amount of time
• Vaginal bleeding for a prolonged amount of time
• Unexplained weight loss

Some signs imply abdominal pain is linked to a medical emergency. Get immediate medical help if you experience:

• Abdominal pain while having cancer treatment
• An inability to make a bowel movement, especially if you have nausea
• Blood in your vomit
• Dark, tarry, or red stools
• Sudden and very sharp abdominal pain
• Tenderness in your abdomen
• Rigidity in your abdomen
• Abdominal pain during pregnancy
• Abdominal pain alongside difficulty breathing

Since many conditions can bring on right abdominal pain, healthcare providers may employ a wide range of tests for diagnosis. Alongside taking your medical history and physical evaluation of affected areas, a diagnosis may include:

• Barium enema, in which an X-ray is taken of the intestines after swallowing a substance to assist with imaging
• Laboratory tests of blood, stool, or urine samples
• Computerized tomography (CT) scan
• Colonoscopy , in which a tube with a camera goes inside the colon
• Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), which tracks electrical activity of the heart
• Ultrasound , a form of imaging, of the abdomen
• X-ray imaging of the abdomen  

How Is Right Side Abdominal Pain Treated?

Depending on what’s causing your right side abdominal pain, you may or may not require specific medical treatment. For some cases, at-home management techniques are sufficient. Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, medical approaches might be necessary.

At-Home Treatments

Home management of right side abdominal pain can involve making dietary to prevent onset or a worsening of symptoms. This can include limiting alcohol, caffeine, or carbonated beverages. It might also mean avoiding acidic foods, such as tomatoes or citrus, as well as spicy, greasy, or fatty foods.

How and when you eat might also be able to make a difference. Chew your food sufficiently, and slow down your eating. Try to avoid late-night snacking. Wait one to two hours after eating a meal before exercising.

You can also implement some lifestyle changes to improve pain. This can include managing your weight, reducing your intake of NSAIDs, quitting smoking, and managing stress.

You can also try taking over-the-counter medications like antiacids, such as Rolaids or Tums (calcium carbonate). Proton-pump inhibitors like Nexium (esomeprazole) or histamine-2 blockers like Pepcid AC (famotidine) may also help.

Medical Treatments

Medical approaches to right-side abdominal pain depend on the specific diagnosis. The treatment may include prescribed medications or surgery.

You might be prescribed analgesic medications, or painkillers. NSAIDs like Motrin (ibuprofen) are not typically recommended for abdominal pain, so you may be prescribed opioids or tricyclic antidepressants like Elavil (amitriptyline) and Desyrel (trazodone).

If your pain is linked to bacterial infection, antibiotics like Amoxil (amoxicillin) or Biaxin (clarithromycin) may be prescribed.

Several conditions may require surgery as part of treatment. For instance, you might need to have your gallbladder taken out with a cholecystectomy or your appendix taken out with an appendectomy. If you had a hernia, you might need surgery to repair the damaged abdominal wall.

While surgery is an option for kidney stone removal, a more common treatment involves sending shock waves to the stones so they break up and are easier to pass.

A Quick Review

There are many reasons you may have right side pain in your abdomen. The pain can result from gas or indigestion or from conditions that might need medical attention, like kidney stones, gallstones, appendicitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. If you have concerns about your right side abdominal pain, or if you experience the pain for more than two weeks or it gets worse after a day or two, connect with a healthcare provider. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment can include dietary changes, lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery.
