May I Know... #1

So I went for a run today. On the way back, a middle-aged woman stopped me and asked me:

"Do you know where is Block xx?"

I pointed out where the building was, and turned to walk away.

"Sorry, do you know how to get to Potong Pasir from here? I heard you can walk to xxx and take Bus xxx."

I told her it was too far to walk to take Bus xxx, and directed her to take Bus yyy and transfer to Bus xxx.

And then she left.

Ed: This is not the first time I have been stopped by strangers on the road to ask for directions. The last time I encountered such a situation was just one week ago. And the one before that was like another week ago also. I thought that I should start writing down all these "encounters", and perhaps it would be a good laugh at the end of the day.
