"sun comes up on the right and goes counterclockwise through the sky instead of coming up on the left and going clockwise as I have seen it do all my life, and that was pretty interesting." That got me too back then, it's funny how your orientation relies on the sun doing the "right" thing

If you face south in both hemisphere's it comes up on the same side - it's only if you face the equator that it's different
I think sun position at noon/during the day would trip up any person from north if someone would ask them "point to south" while being in Australia or south hemisphere. I can imagine because of that the effect of wrong side sun coming up can be rather strong.
oh totally, I was lost, turned around, for the first few months I lived in the US, never really realised I subconsciously navigated by the sun
