I was in the UK this past March and drove a 'hired' car with a manual. Shifting left-handed was less difficult than I expected, and I adapted quickly. Two other things I hadn't considered threw me off about driving a right hand drive car though. First, I found myself looking up to the right expecting the rear view mirror and finding the A pillar instead. Second, lane positioning felt odd since I'm used to lane markers being closer to my left side when driving.
