lost

I found I am a person who has no sense of direction.

I hate city, I hate high buildings!!!!

Yes, I was late for two seminars today.
though I still had one hour when I arrived at Osaka..
One of the place I was going to was near the Higobashi station. An information map i had said if i walk there, it takes 15 min, so i walked. But as I walk, I felt something was strange...cos I didnt find any landmark on the map. So i asked one man, then it turned out I walked to the opposite direction! I had only 30 min before the seminar start. So I rushed into nearest subway station, transferred twice(wonder how far i walked to..), and arrived barely in time(i guess i was late one or two minute though).

Then,, I went to another seminar.
I didnt want to get lost any more, so i used subway this time. But...
I lost again. After getting off the subway, I walked as the map shows, then I noticed I stray into a rather dangerous place. Then I asked one man, "Could you tell me where here is?" then he(he had a shady signboad in his hand) frowned and answered, walk this way and you'll find a detailed map.
So i did. but i didnt find a map. I was at a loss.

Though I had 40 min to spare this time(it was said it takes only 5 min from the nearest station), it was already 10 min before the seminar starts. So I called the number on the map i had that "i am lost. could you tell me the location of the place?". Then I could get the exact place i should go. Actually I had passed the place once, right after going out from the underground. So stupid. But when i arrived there 5 min late, they were quite kind and said "i was waiting for you".

I dont wanna experience this any more.
Could somebody tell me how to avoid getting lost...?

By the way, Happy Valentine!! nose3
