| Day 2 |
Even
after being here for almost three weeks I still hardly know the area at
all. My map from the end of the second
week is pretty much the same as if I were to draw another one today. While I can find my way in any city as long
as I have an actual map, it always takes me a long time to remember a new
area. My first map has hardly anything
on it but I’m surprised I could even do that much. (second day picture) The difference between
my first two maps and my third one is the addition of my new accommodations. Even though I have walked around quite a few
times since moving into my homestay, my mental map of the area hardly has any
details at all. (second week picture) I haven’t mastered any area of the city yet
and it will be a while before I do. The
longer I am here the clearer and more detailed my map will get, but it will be
a slow process. Even when I leave Japan
it is unlikely that I will know the whole city, still this will be a great
chance to improve my mental mapping skills.
