Devil's Advocate

Yeah, this odd desire to face the direction of travel seems to be unique to the United States, Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, etc. Which makes sense since I often see people walking backward and facing the trunk in cars or the aft bulkhead on ships and planes in other countries. What a bizarre and inexplicable conclusion.It seems to be very American and Japanese thing to have an inherant issue with riding backwards. I once spent 5 days traveling backwards in Russia none stop as did 50% of all passengers and in the UK and most of Europe seats are fixed in one direction. Japan and USA are the only 2 countries which come to [m]ind with rotating seats
