Commuting

I've been doubting my commuting skills and knowledge about directions for over 5 years now. My friends have been commuting to get to each others' places and I haven't. I won't go out unless they're willing to pick me up and escort me back to my house. Well, that was the situation last year. Now, things have been starting to go well for me. I could ride tricycles at ease. Well, it's true that I'm not scared of riding tricycles alone anymore, but I find it hard trying to get one! I've yet to master the art of calling tricycle drivers.

1. Raise your dominant hand, giving a 'come over here' gesture.

2. Make sure you're doing the gesture to the CORRECT tricycle - they should be going in the correct direction.

3. Remember the name of the place where you're supposed to go!

PROBLEM #1: Which way is back home?

PROBLEM #2: What should I do if the tricycle drops me at an unknown spot and says "I gotta go, don't pay me." <-- actually happened and I, obviously, panicked. Good thing there was another tricycle which noticed me BUT he ALSO dropped me at another unknown spot which led to me panicking yet again. Well, the third time's a charm when another tricycle approached me while I was in the midst of panicking.

"Where to, boy?"
