Being in a new place itself gets overwhelming enough to have you lose your direction. Yet, if you have someone as company to go through the lost route, it sends a feeling of security. But imagine being lost in a new city, with no one to fall back upon but the locals. To worsen the situation what if the locals do not speak another language but their mother tongue and English, which is the case in most part of the world.

How to ask direction


Panicking is the last thing you want to do, because doing so will just get you a little more confused than what you already are. When life throws you in such a case, just breathe slowly and take one step at a time.

You: Oh! How far is it and in which  direction do I go?
