Male Female

As far as I can remember, last month I went to my friend's birthday party. It was held at the Sheraton Hotel, a place I had never been to before. My friend invited me to a five-star restaurant, so I was very excited. She wanted to throw a party and create some special memories because after six months, she would go abroad for her higher studies. She invited all her relatives, classmates, childhood friends, and university friends, so everyone was present there. Anyway, I told my friend that I needed the location. Please share the location because I had never been there before. My friend Lima sent the location, and then I booked an Uber. We started our journey from Mirpur to Banani. Unfortunately, when I asked the driver if he could pick me up in Mirpur to go to Sheraton, he told me that he had also never been to the Sheraton Hotel because he was a new Uber driver. I was shocked. What happened now? What do I do now?
