POST #18—ON THE ROAD

I can't find "Caution School Zone" on the map.

It's probably too small to show up.

I can't find "Construction Danger" on the map either. Are you sure that's the name?

I'm telling you the map just isn't detailed enough.

"Reduce Speed" seems to be a pretty big town. It should be on the map, don't you think?

Did you see the name of this town?

Yeah, it was "Fix Flats."

Oh, I guess we're not at our stop yet.

Where are we now? Are we in (place)? When do we get to (place)?

I think he said in ten hours.

No, he said eight to ten hours.

No, I think he said we get there at ten minutes to eight.

No, I think the bus left at 8:10.

Where are we?

Excuse me, sir, can you tell me where we are, please?

Jesus saves. Do you want to buy this necklace?

I think the name of the town is "Stop Ahead." 

No, "Stop Ahead" means "No Parking." The name of this town is "Long Distance."

Is there a cheap hotel in "Long Distance"?

Does "Long Distance" have a central railway station?

I think he said that the Hero of the War of Independence built telegraph lines so that the inland people could hear about victories on the coast.

Yeah, but I asked about the railway station.

Do you want me to ask him again, or ask somebody else? We could try for two out of three.

Why is he looking at us that way?

It's because the natives here aren't used to tourists who speak their language.

It seems that "Long Distance" isn't a very friendly town. Maybe we should go on to "Under Construction."
