I told you so!

So before coming here I was like, "Man, that travel training is pure naff, I mean when is that ever going to happen."

I decided to walk from the conference back from the hotel. In hindsight, that was my first mistake. My map wasn't to scale, and not even in the least bit accurate. As a result I'm totally lost in the middle of Istanbul - I'm not too bothered, I've been lost in worse places. I spot a Metro station and I know there is a station within walking distance of the hotel. "At last two points of reference", I think.

I ride the Metro to the station near my hotel. I get out the station still entirely unsure where I'm going and I walk straight into this.....

I remember the training. Walkaway at a perpendicular angle. I do so and in so doing stumble into the hotel.
