I thought it was just me though. But the real question is: What direction do they walk in? Do people in the northern hemisphere walk counter-clockwise? And do the people in the southern hemisphere walk clockwise? You left me hanging here :) I kind of knew that, because I find bendy roads in new towns to be straight. I thought it was just me though.
