Lost and Found

I mean this literally!


I need to take the bus in the mornings. There is two busses. Firstly the 61 bus and secondly the 092 bus.... And then the 092 bus takes me to a bus halt where I'm suppose to get off and walk to school. 

Yesterday morning I missed the 092 bus so I had to use my little letter and then this morning I got off way to soon after missing my lift at 8 am this morning at a church I still need to go find. When I saw cows eating I only realised I am completely lost. I tries to ask a little Korean lady the way to the school but she couldn't understand me and I didn't understand her. So I show her the letter again and she points me in a direction. I have no idea what direction it is but I assume she said get back on the bus. So I walked into the direction she showed me. I asked another only Korean speaking lady and she asked another little granny lady who can also only speak Korean. I showed the old lady the letter and she started speaking a lot of Korean to me. The more I say I don't understand the more she tries to explain. So she ended up calling the number on the page and hand it over to me like I'm suppose to know where the hell I am. And in the whole process the bus pitched up again and left before I could get on it.
I'm screwed I think to myself!!! I hand the phone back to the lady so that my co-teacher can find out where I am but obviously she didn't understand what was going on and closed the phone. She had a marshmallow pink flip flap phone with little lights everywhere. I asked her to call again and mimed to her to talk and eventually in Korean she told me to wait here his coming. 

I must say when something like this happens to you in the world we live today it's pretty damn scary. You feel so small, stupid and powerless.
