[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More narrow roads. Hard to get automatic transmissions. Signs in a foreign language. Parking can be challenging in tourist areas. Laws differ. Customs/traffic safety culture is unfamiliar. You want to see the scenery, and perhaps have wine with dinner. Jet lag.

None of that makes for a relaxing vacation, when paired with driving responsibilities.

You are not some impressive God OP.  We just have a different idea of what a great vacation looks like.[/quote]

Nearly everywhere worth traveling has signs in Roman alphabet.

I find it easier to navigate around cities where street names are things like River Rd, Mountain View Rd, Revolution Square, or East-West Boundary Blvd.  I have more trouble navigating in foreign languages even when written in the Roman alphabet, because I don't know the words for square, blvd, east-west or road in Czech, nor the names for mountain or river in Norwegian, so I can't store the name of the street I'm looking at in my brain easily.[/quote]
