Just read your getting lost experience. It must be terrifying not knowing the language. I have been lost for few minutes or I should say lost in subway. I missed a stop as I was busy reading a book and landed in Bronx. It was not a pleasant sight and I had to cross over to take a train back to Natural history museum,I was afraid, I had never seen so many characters or filth on the station. This was when I was just 15 days into the city, since then I am overly cautious of subway stops😕

One time it was plain frustrating in Quebec City, GPS was not giving right direction and we were just going in circles, and people did not know a word of English on that island. My almost forgotten French was handy that time. I wonder how u must have felt in Mexico!
Hope our II does not land in any problem. Anu I also checked subway map of Paris 😆

Thank you all for relating to, identifying with and appreciating how it is to be lost
Thanks for not asking "How come she didnt continue sitting on the same train"

"How come nobody spoke English?"
"How come she walked in a different direction?" etc

I believe the human brain reacts to crisis very uniquely it shuts down parts of our memory or our cognitive ability to apply resources towards "getting by" simple common sense things of everyday seem herculean faced with a crisis. I think Nivi mentioned LANGUAGE its the greatest barrier to communication

She felt the Metro was a threat, got off and walked as far away from it as she could, later realized its her only way of getting home so asked for directions to the closest station, smartest people take some of the dumbest decisions faced with a crisis

I know of many women who AFTER seeing their child behind their car in the rear view mirror press GAS on reverse, running over their own child, instead of shifting gears to D and and parking

One time while in Grad school I had a Macro Economic Policy final my hubby was late returning from work my oldest was 1 or 2 cant remember. I was frustrated and angry... I sat in my car, with the kid in the back, on a mission to drive to work and hand him the kid on the way to the Univ... I PRESSED gas while on Reverse literally tearing through my garage door,😲 the sheet of metal hung like a blanket/canopy over my car, as I stood in the drive way panicking... and saw HE WAS AROUND THE CORNER

He handed me his keys, took the baby inside, I was shaking all the 30 minutes to college... but somehow forgot on seeing the test Qs I think

At 10:30 when I drove up that night... I saw my car covered with my garage door... we left it as is... until a guy came by the next day and replaced it with a new door, house was barely a 1.5 old😭

THANKS FOR IDENTIFYING WITH...YOU ALL

Also for all their self professed "liberalism" I found Paris NOT being very vegetarian friendly at all.
No meat means sea food is OK which is very annoying
We stayed near Bercy, Gare de Lyon, Metro/RER station, there are trains to EU countries from that station, which was absolutely fascinating to me. I mean a block from my hotel was the Gare deLyon and we would hear people returning or leaving for trips to Belgium etc walk by late at night

Most of the French cafes we ate at they just stared blankly when we asked if we could have something vegetarian... they brought in a baguette sandwich with tomato, a whole basil leaf and mozzarella cheese I think... awful!!

I live in the Mountain West, 99% white no clue about India or Indians, but I have seen tiny diners along Route 66 and middle of nowhere Nevada be more welcoming of my food choices
