I was in a strange city，besides I could not speak a word of the language．After having spent my first day in the town center，I decided to lose my way on my second day，since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know the strange city．
I rode on a bus for several stops，then got off it and walked on．The first two hours passed pleasantly enough．Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch．I wanted to ask the way．But the trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street my hotel was in．
I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller．He smiled and handed me a paper．I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands．I had to give him some money and went on my way．The next person I asked was a policeman．The policeman listened to me carefully．There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again．I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed．
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were seen on either side of me．I knew the only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station．
