Why is it that no matter which end of the hall you are standing the other end is always down the hall?

So you will think it's all downhill from where you are.
Because it's too confusing to define "down". If down was a specific direction, like north, people would have to whip out a compass every time they say "down the hall". It's about relativity.

On the other hand, "down the hall" means the same thing as being farther "up the hall", even in Australia. So it is just a case of providing a direction other than pointing and saying "there". Very few people use the alternative, which is "farther along", or possibly "further along".
--
Because the tallest point in the hall is the top of your head.
Sometimes the choice of up or down is just a state of mind, when you want to go (up) someplace as opposed to where you don't want to go (down). In this case, the choice is arbitrary.

Because wherever you are, "down" means "toward the center of the Earth".That means that if there's one person standing at the north pole and anotherone standing at the south pole, their "downs" are in exactly opposite directions.The same goes for one person in the middle of South America and another onein Taiwan. "Down" for one of them is "up" for the other one.The gravitational attraction between you and the Earth is always straight towardthe center of the Earth, no matter where on Earth you are.

What does the grass always looks greener on the other side?
Depends on which side you are standing and from the angle you see the grass. Seeing grass from a distance the viewing angle is much lower and this will hide the imperfections in the grass, giving the illusion that the grass is completely green. However, when you walk closer and you are viewing the grass from a top down view all the dirt spots and dead grass is revealed. Because of this trick of the brain you will always perceive grass in the distance than much greener as the grass on which you are standing.
