About 2 weeks after I arrived, we were to have houseguests for dinner and I needed a pan to cook the ham in so ventured to the neighborhood shop. I used Charades to explain what I needed and a delivery person for Canada Dry was there with limited English and told me he would drive me to the store. I accepted the ride and after a 20 minute drive, he dropped me off in front of a big 5 story department store. I jumped out of the cab, and told him I would be right back. I raced up the escalator, found my pan, paid in Yen, and raced back out. I was gone about 5-6 minutes.
He was no where to be found. I waited thinking maybe he just drove around the block. No, he was gone. I didn’t have my address, and there are no street signs on most of the streets in Japan. I was in a sea of Asian people and suddenly saw some blonde hair. aaaargh….they were speaking German.
I began walking in the general direction of where I thought my house was, and after many tears and a little over an hour of walking, I began to see some familiar sights. I was back in my neighborhood and to this day am convinced it was divine intervention. What a scary time it was, I was only 19 years old.
Dinner turned out grea! 🙂

I agree!! I couldn’t go back to no GPS and call phone travel apps. It’s so much easier!!

hahaha – that is a great idea. I wish I didn’t get lost all of the time. I wasn’t born with that direction gene. I am glad to hear that other people are the same!!
