Right hand drive vs. left hand drive

I've wondered this for several years and it occoured to me that I could get the answer here so here goes.

In america, our left hand drive cars have the pedals set-up as gas & brake are your right foot and the clutch is your left foot. The gears are set-up as 1st is the upper left, second is down, third is up and to the right, etc. How are the right hand drive cars set up? Are the pedals the same and are the gears the same? I traveled abroad when I was younger but I guess this didn't occour to me until later. I imagine that the big circle in front of the driver works the same no matter where you are; turn it to the left and you go left, turn it to the right and you go right. Sorry for asking such a dumb question.
