Getting Lost

I am sitting here waiting for one of my co-workers and thought I would tell you all about the streets of London.

The streets here were not designed in any manner which makes sense to me. You will be walking down a street lets say its called Angela Street and all of the sudden a little ways down the street you will look up and be on Chris Avenue. It is very odd. So needless to say I have gotten lost when on my own a few times. Many people (including londoners) use an A to Z (pronounced A to Zed) which helps them navigate around the city. I thought I would share two of my getting lost stories because they both involve me getting lost out of the same exit of a tube station on my way to work.

Story 1: Chris and I visited my office prior to my first day (sort of like how mom used to take us to go see our classroom before the first day of school). So I knew how to exit the tube from a specific location and get to work. Well on one of my first days that particular exit was closed, uh oh. So I had to exit out of a different area. I ended up walking around the city for a good 15 minutes and all of the sudden I stumble upon PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Phew, I found it! Uhhh, nope, that would be a different PwC office that I came across. So the recpetionist was nice enough to give me directions to where I am supposed to be.

Story 2: Same situation, had to exit out of the same "alternative exit" out of the tube.

Gotta go will finish later.
