Remember me saying Nagoya is extremely big?
Well, yesterday I learned something very important when it comes to living in such a big city; Don't go out cycling for three hours so that you get so lost that you have no idea which direction your home is in.
And, yeah, for those who don't already get it, that was exactly what happened to me yesterday. It was pretty scary. I mean, I had already been biking around without any idea where I was, but I had always somehow gotten back home again. It was first when I realized that I wouldn't find my home by myself, that I figured that asking for direction would be the best thing. Of course, I asked an old man, that probably didn't knew a word of English. But, wow, he sure was friendly! Seriously, he walked with me a really long way, and when I had to bike the way myself, he stood pointing and watching to make sure I went the right way.
After even more time, and asking an old lady to make sure I went the right way, I finally started to recognize the landscape. And, oh, what an amazing feeling that was. Biking around for three hours, with no idea where you are is slightly tiring..
And, uum, that's it. I found my way back home :-)
Btw, when it comes to pictures, I am going to publish some soon.. Just gotta put them into my mac first ^^.

ReplyDeletePlease update your blog a little more often in the future, gurl. I want to know how your stay is! :D Also, some information about your school could have been a good idea? I'm dying from curiousness over here! xD
Oh, btw; check out my new blogging site when you got the time. I'm trying to be a sport and actually stick to this one XD
