They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language. Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions? A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.” B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.” C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.” D. “
