re: #311 mmmirele
I heard a story about an adventurous fellow (back in the pre-Smartphone days) who would simply show up at a new city, write down the name of the nearest subway station and set off to see the town and eventually find his way back to it.
He tried this in Moscow and got horribly lost. He finally contacted a policeman who helped him phone the hotel where he was staying. They asked him the name of the station where he got on and he had written down “нет входа” (no entry)
