Be a tourist

[urbpan]

This morning I took the subway to a stop at which I've never gotten off before. While I waited for my friend to pick me up, I enjoyed the feeling of being a visitor there--the unfamiliar sights, the fishy whiff of garbage juice. I jotted this down in my notebook:

BE A TOURIST IN YOUR HOME CITY!
Carry a map
Look at the tops of buildings
Ask strangers for directions
Smile at old men and young women
Buy unusual snacks
Don't forget your pills!
Go exploring
Take lots of pictures
Marvel at everything
(What is that smell?)

I am always a tourist in my own city.

I hope this icon makes you laugh as much as it did me.

Found it!
And I haven't commented on the Easter Island stuff, but it's really cool to see and read about. Thanks.
