Last Friday I had a whole day class. I was planning to buy an outfit for a party that night and I figured I'll just buy one after class. Unfortunately, I had to stay late in class to finish a project. When I left, I realized I had only 2 hours to buy an outfit and rush home to get ready. I was freaking out.
My class was located near Union Square so I decided to walk towards the direction. I already knew what I wanted to buy, my only problem was finding the store in Union Square - Zara. Zara is one of my favorite stores back home, in Manila, and I'm so glad that they have it in the city too. I remember the area where it was located - sort of, but I didn't remember the street name. I was sort of in a panicky mode that I was walking around for minutes and I still couldn't find it! I resorted to 411. I tried 2 calls but they weren't able to help me - to think I spent a lot for those useless phone calls! I then resorted to asking a local. I saw a girl who didn't look like a visitor/tourist so I asked her if she knew where Zara was in Union Square. She didn't know either but she was so nice enough to check her Blackberry. She told me she'll just Google it. After a few minutes, she gave me the address: 250 Post St. and I was only 1 block away from it, geez. I thanked her for helping me and I ran off to Zara.
Thank God for approachable locals, Blackberrys and Google!
