I love the internet. So many ways to play around and look for interesting things. I have been planning a trip for this December, and I have been thinking a lot about travelling to Japan, or Thailand. I decided to see on Google Maps what the distance is, just for a reason to look forward to this trip. Because of the assignment we had on instructions, I typed Kwantlen's address (Richmond adress), and the city of Tokyo, and google maps gave me these directions. I don't know if I should trust the internet with directions now, or if I could even follow these instructions, especially steps 14 and 30. It is very important to have instructions that are easy to follow, and that they are realistic.
