So I clearly remember a time when I use a smartphone to save my day. It was about 4 months ago when I was at Huan Kim Lake to practice sketching lessons at around 9pm. When I finished my sketching, I began to come back home. Unluckily, I didn’t remember the parking. So I decided to walk around the lake to save my motorbike. However, you know, the crowds of people on the weekend here made it difficult to look for. I was already tired as I walked for at least an hour from place to place to look at each one of the parking. But then I remember that I have Google Maps and at least one ZB mobile data on my smartphone. At that moment, I opened the Google Maps application and entered through address where I parked. As soon as I looked at my motorbike, it was a short relief and all I could think about was coming home and going to bed.

So I clearly remember a time when I used my smartphone to save my day. It was about four months ago when I was at Hoan Kiem Lake to practice sketching lessons at around 9 PM. When I finished my sketching, I began to come back home. Unfortunately, I didn't remember where I parked. So I decided to walk around the lake to find my motorbike. However, the crowds of people on the weekend made it difficult to look for it. I was already tired as I walked for at least an hour from place to place to check each parking spot. But then I remembered that I had Google Maps and at least some mobile data on my smartphone. At that moment, I opened the Google Maps application and entered the address where I parked. As soon as I located my motorbike, it was a short relief, and all I could think about was coming home and going to bed.
