N When I first arrived in Kyoto as an exchange student, I didn’t have much furniture. I went to the community centre and found an ad for a free bookshelf. So I called the contact, Yumiko, and organised to meet her in front of one of the many temples in Kyoto, Kinkakuji. I took a bus north to Kinkakuji on the western side of town and called Yumiko. The conversation went something like this: ‘Hi there Yumiko, I’m in front of the temple waiting for you’ ‘Hi Georgie. That’s very strange. I’m in front of the temple too and I can’t see you’ ‘That IS strange! We were supposed to meet at Kinkakuji, right?’ ‘…… Kinkakuji?! No, no, no! I said “Ginkakuji”! Oh no! So you’re in front of Kinkakuji, huh?!’ So I pulled out my map and rustled around trying desperately to find Ginkakuji. ‘Oh no! It’s on the other side of town, on the EASTERN SIDE!!’ I thought. So I took a taxi across to Ginkakuji and finally met Yumiko an hour later. Being able to listen to and understand directions is a great skill to have and can avoid a lot of mix-ups like with Yumiko and I.
