The long and short of it

Date: 16 Dec 2007
Time: 1027 hrs
Place: Downstairs from the block

(both) We're downstairs at the carpark walking in when this auntie with a red flowery shirt and red lipstick and henna-ed hair, asking, "xiao jie, where's the market?" and pointing one way then another. In fact, both routes would have worked, but we set her off in the direction that was shorter.

It's on the map

Date: 04 Dec 2007
Time: 1014 hrs
Place: Bus stop at corner of Bencoolen and Bras Basah

I'm sitting and reading my book at the bus stop waiting for the bus when a bunch of Korean tourists (two ladies and a little girl) ran up to me and asked me where Dhoby Ghaut MRT was. I told them to walk down the road and follow the curve and the MRT entrance was there. The interesting thing was that she had written "Dhoby Ghaut MRT" on her tourist map. Not that it helped her find the place...
