I guess it's allright if I hijack my own thread...

In Kuwait the highway speed limit is usually 120km/hr or about 75mph. I usually traveled at just below 140km/hr (87mph). At 140 the speed camera's would take your picture. It wasn't too hard to switch, but I always caught myself trying to convert my speed back into mph. Didn't help that I was driving in the desert where 87mph felt more like 65.

Give it 10 more years, and we will be primarily using metric ourselves. It's still slightly unatural to me, but it is a much easier and organized way of measurements.

I got the whole "mm" thing down, but I don't know if I will ever get used to saying "KM/h" for speed.

The biggest problem with north america is that it was maped in miles. Every road is at a 1 mile or 2 mile distance depending on east-west or north-south, so its easier to count off roads and get directions in miles.
