    Serious question: Why do you need to remind yourself where north is in your house? Is this important somehow?

    Just a curious European here who thinks about cardinal directions about once a year…

      I am not good with left and right, mostly orient myself in the world using north, south, east, west and it is oddly disorienting to be on the diagonal road, my mind keeps wanting to think of it as a north-south road. Until I can FEEL it I keep saying it. The corners of the house are the compass points. My work office right now also is set diagonally like that!
