Driving a manual is nothing out of the ordinary here in the UK, it’s generally rare to see an automatic car day to day.
Fun Fact: If you pass your test here in an automatic, you’re not legally licensed to drive a manual.

I found that moving to Canada and adapting to driving in an automatic pick up truck on the wrong side of the road was fairly harmless but I still noticed that my left foot kept reaching for the clutch pedal. Luckily, my wife has an old pick up with manual transmission so when we come back to the UK to visit, we can both share the driving without having to specially hire an automatic car.

I don't like Automatics to many things can break also have to service transmission once a year with a Stick for me is allot better slowdown quicker, transmission doesn't heat up if for some reason my engine over heats in a manual that wont effect transmission but in an Automatic he heat up everything can burn out the disks and bands which is very very expensive to get fixed. better in snow or slippery conditions also I don't get bored driving . when I drive an automatic I keep reaching for the shifter also less likely to get stolen and if battery is very low can bump start my truck lol .

In Dubai, automatic transmission is the most common amongst vehicles. Stick shift is used by the old car owners (which are rare) and industrial. If you drive a manual like me (on a manual transmission NIssan Altima, since the manual version of this car itself is rare here), people are surprised.
It's the same here as well. The plus point is, I as a manual license holder, can drive automatic should I choose to as well.

Like it's hard?
Of course, I learned the concept of a clutch on a minibike when I was 10. Stick weren't nothing when I took my driving test.

First car I went to buy with my own money, I was commuting into NYC every day, across the George Washington Bridge. If I'd tried to learn stick in that, I'd have lost my damn mind. So yeah, automatic, thanks.
