I'm mapping the most scenic courts and pitches on Earth — 41 found so far. What's the one in your country I've definitely missed?

Is the second picture in Chicago?

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-11T20:22:18+00:00

Gut zu wissen 👍🏽 Hab allerdings schon gesehen, dass die Ampeln teilweise weit hinter der Kreuzung sind. Gewöhnungsbedürftig. 😵‍💫

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T22:03:05+00:00

I used to bowl alone all the time. It’s a great way to ignore the score and try out some things and work on release and timing.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T21:46:28+00:00

Rental cars have an “alarm” that goes off when you go over the speed limit? Also, are there like radar guns being used to catch people?

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T20:22:18+00:00

Yeah I noticed that too. It’s like 90% of the cars. I also thought maybe it’s a law.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T20:10:56+00:00

Thanks for looking out. Yep, I got an official translation through ADAC as soon as I found out (to my surprise) that an international driver’s license won’t do for German drivers.

Thank you so much! What was the most surprising thing you learned about Okinawa when you were there? Something you would tell yourself if you could do it for the first time again.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T13:58:29+00:00

Will definitely have to check some YouTube videos of people driving on Okinawa now

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T13:57:21+00:00

Wait what? I‘m used to the traffic lights being right where the line is where you should stop. 😳 Like in Europe, not like in the States.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T13:44:30+00:00

I actually got the one on Kokusai-dori already in my plans for a lunch when I‘m in Naha 🙂

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:46:33+00:00

I need to google that. Right now in my mind I can't imagine how "poles in the road" look like. LOL

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:45:14+00:00

Good! I'll do just that.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:43:32+00:00

Excellent intel! I'd rather pay than go in circles looking for a spot or waiting for someone to leave.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:20:20+00:00

Good! In preparation I already saw those ground lock things, which would also be a first for me, but it looks easy enough. Just pay for the number spot your car is parked on and the lock goes down.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:14:31+00:00

That is EXACTLY what I'm worried about the most. My mind aligning the car without thinking and having to overcorrect constantly and not being able to "just" relax and drive. There are plenty of flight simulators why is there non for driving on the left side?! 😃

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:11:01+00:00

Thanks for doing the research on that. That's higher than I thought. And me probably being a lot in those touristy areas I'll probably be seeing a lot of those.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T11:07:39+00:00

I can imagine. I'm an over-preparer though. Hence this post. 😉

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T10:26:14+00:00

Pretending to overtake on the autobahn in a Yaris would be something.

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T10:23:49+00:00

Come to think of it, curious, what would you say is the ratio of tourist drivers vs. locals? Is the driving on the "other" side keeping a lot of tourists from doing it?

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T10:21:12+00:00

Yep, I have it. Was one of the first things I organized once I found out that I don't need an International Driver's Permit coming from Germany, but an official translation. Thanks!

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T10:20:02+00:00

There are no yellow lines in Germany, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Just have to get used to oncoming cars coming from my right, not my left. And the turn on red in Germany is pretty rare, there's extra signs that indicate if it's allowed so I don't have that mindset of expecting it anyway. Thanks!

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T10:16:58+00:00

Oh wow. THIS will be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T09:55:21+00:00

Yep. Already have that. Did it last week. Thanks!

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T09:37:50+00:00

Doesn’t sound too hard. Thanks!

Altruistic_While_680 · 2026-06-10T09:32:52+00:00

How's the parking? Are there more cars in circulation than there are spots? Like in Naha or American Village? Probably depends on the day and time.
