See Episode GuideFear of Driving On the Left in Brisbane, Australia
Newlyweds Joe and Laura were planning their wedding and preparing to leave the country at the same time. Shortly after the blessed event, Laura moved in with Joe and then they shipped off together to Brisbane, Australia, where Joe had been given a great job opportunity. Thing is, Joe has lived in Louisville, Kentucky his whole life and has never been outside the USA. So this move is really going to be culture shock for him. He's particularly concerned about driving on the left side of the road. Laura has some traveling under her belt, including one visit to Australia, so her main concern was getting her job to let her work from down under. Of course, her office is in downtown Brisbane, and Joe's is in North Brisbane, so one of them is going to have a healthy commute. Either Joe will have a long white knuckle drive on the left side, or Laura a long ride on mass transit. This could be the first bump on the road of their new marriage.
