Need more maps!





The fact is that streets here don't all have names. Major boulevards have names. Maps don't always have street names indicated. So, for the past week I've been feeling that this is somehow intentional to make the city more mysterious, or that the Powers That Be felt why bother. After so much frustration I'm coming to terms with it. Everyone I have asked has the same advice, just forget about street names and go by landmarks. My frustration continues because the English language map only has landmarks such as department stores, hotels, or fire departments while the bus map lists mostly high schools, community centers, etc. Give me some time and I'll have the bus map translated well enough to hit those target landmarks.
