;D - I have a friend who has a real talent for 'landmarks' in descriptions. She described the way to her new home as follows: You exit the city passing that chalk board that says 'Spaghetti Carbonara' (it shows he daily menu), then you follow the road up to the crossing with the oak tree, but don't confuse it with the one with the maple (by the time I went it was autumn and the leaves had fallen) and at the corn field you take a right (guess what, the fields had been harvested). Lost in the fields, I called her husband...  |

That's the typical way for women to give directions ^^

Hey... I'll tell you that I don't always understand men when they try to give me directions.  "Okay, now that building's over at your left. Cross at the junction you see near/next to it. Then turn left again. And Walk straight. And you'lll find a huge curve. " There's one problem: a) "Left" depends on which angle you're facing the building. So "Right" could also be "left". b) What "junction"? There're 2 to 3 more junctions next to either left or right. c) Turn "left"? Again, it could also be turn "right?" Okay after much explanation and trial and error walking around, managed to get to this area: d) What curve? There're 3 more curves ahead and... i'm supposed to do what? WEll, after a lot of wandering around, I finally went into the last curve and found him. |

Hehe, great GPS system there! 
Btw, explaining the route as Glance pointed out might as well come from me, I always use stores and restaurants as a marking point as well ;D
