Do you know your way to your house/school/church?
Even though you've been living in that state for more than 5 or 6 years, don't you get any troubles telling the directions to people on how to get there? I have that problem. I lived in Shoreline, Washington for 3 years so far. And, I still don't know the streets to my apartment. I always say like, "It's near Costco and Magic Dragon. Just go from there and I'll show you where to go." And I also have to say "Right, Left, Stop" ehh yeah. I guess I don't really pay attention to the roads when my mom drives. So that means I don't memorize the street names and what exit it is. Well I know my street is Bagley. But they question me like which Bagley. I asked my apartment manager, kinda stupid of me to do that but I did just in case if someone ask me again. So yeah.... even they tell me, I forget. If I write in the paper or in my diary, I forget or lose it. Ehh... yeah... that's just my life. How are you going with knowing your way? |

I can navigate my way through my city as well as San Jose.
I kind of need to, since I walk all over the place and give directions when driving with others. |

I've lived here in Burnaby for 12 years, and I can't get to Metrotown, a mall in the same town, or give directions to it. I don't think I even remember what street my high school is on.
And only 2 years until I learn how to drive, too! That'll be interesting... "Make a turn on Hastings." "  Where's Hastings?"

lol susan where do you come up with these topics?
hehe, well the answer to your question i'm usually horrible at giving directions. I know the main roads and everything, but i mean the lil streets you turn on or whatever..eh..lol not good at that part. Usually i say, "oh well it's right next to chevys" or some store or somethan. lol i mean the only time i actually give out directions or somethan is when someone needs to know the way to my house or church or somethan, so i just mapquest it and read it over the phone. hehe i guess that's cheating |

Yes, I know my way around place. I don't know things like many street names, because I have a strong sense of direction.

ok, heres a good question. How old are you? cuz the only place I knew how to get to before i turned 15 was school, because I had to walk to/from everyday. But as soon as I started driving, I knew where EVERYTHING was. I know this area like none other. every movie theatre, every highway, every fast food joint every mall. I know it all. If its important, I can get u there. So yeah. Before that I was confused as to where up the street was. :D

I know how to get to school, work, cousin's houses, the mall and to the movies. I'm bad with street names but give me a map and I'll figure it out in a jiffy.

I know my way around the city, although I can't give clear directions to someone else. I'm afraid I'll make them get lost.

I don't specifically know the street names so if people ask for directions, i just say something like, "take the next right" or something...
i've been living here for 4 years, but I don't really know street NAMES. |
