My first driving experience
I just returned from driving for the first time on the opposite side of the road...just on base though. I survived!!!! It wasn't too bad, but I did keep turning the wipers on when I was supposed to be using my signal! They are opposite what they are in the US. It'll definitely be awhile before I even attempt to drive off-base!

Good thing you have that new driver sticker! =D
We just got back from Europe and I was telling the girls that I learned to drive at Yokota, on the opposite side of the street. One of them said, "You mean they drive on the WRONG side of the street?" I had to change that concept immediately: "No, honey, they drive on the OPPOSITE side of the street!"
It's easier to do with the steering wheel on the opposite side of the street. I do recommend you practice before going off base. Those Japanese are so polite, but they drive like crazy people off base! (Remember: the bigger the car, the more right-of-way!)
Congratulations on that new step!
