    Pride goeth before a fall. After my success navigating Shinjuku in the morning, I utterly failed to make it back to the hotel in the evening. Crap GPS due to skyscrapers and even more crap directions from Google Maps saw me wandering lost for 25 min. I finally gave up, parked myself in the nearest Starbucks, and called the Snook to come pick me up. He did. #humiliated #grateful #hesthebest
