In which the author remembers her inept sense of direction

I remember coming to SCAD, and being overwhelmed by the layout of Savannah. I'd never really been in a city that had a grid-like layout before. It really threw me off at first, but now I know how to get around really easily... that is, while walking. I don't remember the one-way streets so I tend to confuse drivers when giving directions.

Even the hyper-simplified map SCAD gives its students is a little confusing and overwhelming, but it's fine once you figure out the main streets. It only took a little while to be able to look at the map without my heart to sink with disappointment as I was well aware I'd get lost. Again.

I digress.

So I bought our 'textbook'. The Tokyo City Atlas: A Bilingual Guide. Of course I took a peek as soon as I got it.



Well, then.
