Time for Navi class

Its either I look real friendly or I always happen to be at the right place at the right time, since i've been asked directions in NUS not once, not twice but 3 times in my less than 2 semester time here. Of cos, there's the possibility that i look like the staff that would man an information counter if there's really one in NUS. Well i notice that 2 out of 3 could have gotten an answer if they spend some effort studying the map but then again ppl say girls are really bad at maps(prob becoz of lack of NS) and i happen to encounter one such girl. She was looking for LT16 i think, which i too had no idea where it is, so i looked at the map board which u can find in many MANY places in NUS and realise its at BIZ. Current location was at the post box outside central forum btw, so pointing at the map, i orientated her to our current location and pointed to her where LT16 was and to my horror she asked if its correct for her to cross the road which leads to Engin canteen (For those who dunno, tat's the opposite direction to BIZ). But still i politely pointed to her the correct direction to Biz and told her to just follow the signs on the ceiling. I think reading a map is a rather important skill most ppl shld know lest u go overseas and get lost or smth which happened to me once when i was in taiwan. Well we ain't exactly lost, just tat we dunno where to proceed but we're definitely on the right track, really.
