Being Lost Is Fun

I am too proud to inquire direction,especially sometimes came across someone terrible,he/she won't tell you a right direction.I used navigation system,such as GPS,to work out direction.

Raine38, we are so much alike! I can get lost so easily, but I don't mind asking for directions. GPS has sure helped me a lot.

@jefferson126 I've fallen victim to those who sent me in a totally wrong direction, so I am now insecure to ask for help.

@Shavkat Not at the age of 16!

@AmbiePam I would be laughing for ending up to another place. The fun is always there despite being lost.

@AmbiePam you were so young that time.

@Shavkat You and I should trade cities for a day - let's see if we can get lost .

@much2say Thats a good idea.

It is also the same thing in my city, unless if I am in another city. It will surely make me need more time to explore it.

@RebeccasFarm I also wanted to feel the scenario since it has been a long time that I did not travel solo.

It's okay to get lost sometimes, but always come back to us.

@RebeccasFarm Im thrilled, cannot hardly ait to know you are lost and found

I agree. We can also consider the feeling of safe at a particular place while looking for our final destination. We can scrape through this matter.

I also experienced this before. The locals do not know the directions. It was a big lesson, so I try my best to find a police officer.

The unforgettable experience of me being lost in Tajikistan more than a decade ago. I was lost in the middle of the desert place and am not familiar with the other passengers at that time. Luckily, a police car came along and asked the police officer to ride with him and be to the main town.

I would be scared if being lost in another country.

I can feel his frustrations. My lovely mother used to be in such a situation before. I suddenly missed her.

@LadyDuck I used to take this concern with my lovely mother.

@Shavkat I do not let go my husband out alone, unless it is a place he knows very well.

I would still be confident of being lost in my country.

The first time I travelled abroad, I also experienced being lost in the airport in Hong Kong. I was a bit anxious because I cannot find the exit and where to get my luggage.

@cacay1 It was so troublesome to fall in line during my time.

@Shavkat that's horror I experienced the same. I fall in line at the wrong counter and my luggage keeps on rolling. That was insane

It would be more frustrating if the locals do not know the directions, too. But I am confident that most of us can able to find the final destinations in the long run.

@mildredtabitha Thanks for agreeing.

@Shavkat you are right

It is also a good thing to have the navigation app through our mobile phone. Although I still use a paper map in case of running out of battery.

@jefferson126 I think it is normal not to use the paper map. If ever I do not have it, I can just ask the locals for the right directions. It would be a problem if they cannot communicate in English.

@Shavkat ,Since there was a navigation system at my phone,i never see a map,now it remind me to recall that i watched a map years ago.

I must admit that I am not good at roaming around in my country's capital. I usually asked help from my sister there. I am glad that you have her in your life. The feeling is mutual.

I do felt anxious when I was lost in Tajikistan before, especially in the countryside. It made me more nervous when the car that I riding on broke down in the middle of nowhere. I need not to say anything because the locals are with me. I do not want for them to take advantage the situation. I am not saying that they are bad, but I need to be vigilant for possible danger at that time. The good part is that I was able to hitchhike and luckily, it was one of the police officers in this country.

I also experienced getting lost in Hong Kong before. It made me call one of my colleagues to ask for the right directions.

That would be another story. I did experience this before and was bit in a panic. It is not fun to be lost in an unfamiliar countries or places.
