A few months after we moved to Tours,France,I wanted to meet my husband,Stéphane,for lunch at the university where he worked.I got lost,so I had to call him.Stéphane’s officemate André overheard the conversation and said,“How could she get lost? just go straight.”
I admit I have a horrible sense of direction;I can’t read a map and I am not such a hot driver.But my husband claims that you don’t really need a road map or to write down directions to get anywhere in France.You just need to know your destination and look at the signs in the traffic circles.And if you don’t see your sign the first time around,you can keep turning around and around until you spot your exit sign.
I suppose.
But as soon as I get into a roundabout I get into a panic and rather than circling to survey my options with a cool head,I exit somewhere,anywhere,just to keep from going round and round.
Six years into our French living experiment,I now have adopted an ideal solution:a GPS(Global Positioning System) program on my smartphone.I rely on it to get just about anywhere,even places I’ve been to before.This past winter we went to the Alps(阿尔卑斯山)for a skiing vacation and a friend asked me where we went.How could I know?Wasn’t “the Alps” precise(精准的) enough?As far as I could figure,we just turned on the GPS program,searched the address and drove.Was it the north Alps or south?Who knew?Is GPS equipment just making us all stupider or is it acting as a useful aid to people who might not be brave enough to go outside of their gates without it?In my case,it’s probably both.
