‘Realistic Google Maps Walking Directions When in a Different Country’
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 03.31.10 | 10:07 AM ET
Quality travel humor from Zach Jones and McSweeney’s. A taste:
1. Exit train station, make left... 2 m
2. Continue down Major Street, get used to it, because you’re going to wind up on it several more times… 32 m
3. Make right on what seems to be Correct Street... 1 km
4. Correct Street changes into Completely Unheard of Street, continue down for another 2 kilometers… 4 km
