Down the mysterious road of... something - Shmurk - 2011-02-09

I go to work by car every day, and I take the same path every time. Except for today where my life would take drastic turn...

There was a huge traffic jam in front of me, and to avoid it I quickly turned left. I drove down this mysterious new road that I never went to before, and I was soon hopelessly lost... With my powerful ninja skills, I turned the GPS on, launched the Navigation application of my Android phone and waited for the usual instructions. I waited for 2 whole minutes but the phone remained silent. I was expecting something, anything, the usual "tournez à droite" (turn right, in French) or the boring "tournez à gauche" (turn left, again in French), but not a word was said.

10 seconds later, I arrived near a roundabout and thus spake the almighty cell phone: みぎほうごうです or something like that...

WAIT WHAT??? このさきみぎでぐちです or something, again in a Japanese woman's voice.

I completely forgot that, due to AJATT's method, my phone was in Japanese and so was the GPS application. I understood almost nothing of what was said, but I didn't care, I was in heaven Big Grin
