In Greece, I made quite a tangle in the rope when the climbing
instructor very strongly stated I should leave the tree to the left.
Usually I would have passed it to the right (and it looked quite obvious
like the thing to do), but after his insistence, to his chagrin, I
passed it on the left.
I did not really focus on his exact wording, and the Greek view seems to
be different...
