Here comes the lady with here daily questions but dear maya, u need to understand one thing and that is - "men never get lost" it's against the rule of the nature for men to admit that they are lost or to ask directions.....men would rather spend time n fuel but not ask for directions especially when they r lost

Once I was in la baule, France . I wanted to enjoy the city so I rented a bike to cruise around the city while doing that I discovered that I have reached to a nearby city ( it were small cities and close to each othe like khobar and Dhahran) I tried to return but couldn't find my way , and almost all the locals don't speak English so I decided to follow my gut and luckily it was right

Only once in recent memory.. in Rome.. in the middle of the night!  Finally gave up and grabbed a cab, but the driver couldn't understand my pronunciation of the hotel's name.  Finally I wrote it on a piece of paper--he threw his hands into the air (to indicate that my pronunciation had been sh*t) and took me there--overcharging me, btw, but hey, how could I complain? :lol:

@TheLoneRanger: I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that. I am a man and I would rather to ask for directions than wasting time looking for them. And yeah, I got lost many times in cities or places that are new to me as I spend more time outdoors than indoors. Sometimes the locals give me the right directions, and when not, I follow my guts. The GPS doesn't always help as the names people know for some streets are different from the official names of those streets.

Sure, we used to go 'snake hunting' all the time when I was a kid and kept the ones we caught for pets, sometimes.  Mostly just harmless garter snakes, though :)
