If I had to describe a time when I had to use Google Maps or a navigation app or even a map, I would probably describe a time when I was in Vancouver. It was my first time being abroad on my own because at that time I was kind of an exchange student, but I didn't go to a real school; it was like a language study institution. And at that time I was alone, and I was going to get a crumbl cookie, which was really far from my house, in the suburbs area of Vancouver, but not exactly. At that time, I was trying my best to get back home because after I got there, it was really far, and I didn't know how I could get home because everything just looked so unfamiliar to me, and I was in shock. I tried my best to Google my way back home, so I used Google Maps, and there was a bus stop which was not really far, like a 10-minute walk, and then I used it to get to the bus stop and from the bus stop to home. But the really complexing part was that the bus went many, many ways around, so I had to take a lot of buses to go back to the house, which was really, really hard because at the bus stop I was really afraid because it was dark and there were no people around me. So finally, I got back home, but it was an exciting experience, and I'm really grateful to have this technology.
