【No. 0987】Getting Lost

Aug 31, 2017 23:23
Today I got lost in Kumamoto University.

I'm often confused about the direction I'm heading when I go to a new land.

In the university, I watched a map made of paper, thought like "okay, I understand the route," and started walking.

However, the destination was in the completely opposite direction.

Recently I may depend on Google Map too much.

There are many places where Google Map doesn't work, such as premises of universities or underground, I think that I have to do practice to be able read paper maps.

Anyway, I will be careful not to get lost in my life.
迷子

今日、私は熊本大学で迷子になりました。

新しい土地では、今どちらを向いているかよくわからなくなります。

紙の地図を見て、「よし、こっちだ」と歩いていったら、目的地は正反対の方向でした。

最近私は、Google Mapに頼りすぎているかもしれません。

大学のキャンパス内や地下など、Google Mapが使えない場所はまだまだ多いので、地図を読む練習をしたほうが良さそうです。

人生の迷子にはならないように、気をつけます。
