This morning I needed to meet a friend at the Miami airport, which has the MIA code. Went to Google maps to get driving directions, typend MIA, but selected the wrong line from the autocompletetion dropdown – it was “ Mie Prefecture, Japan”.
Google Maps obediently offered me these funny directions below. I had to cross the USA, then sail to Japan. Especially I like the part “Entering Japan, Turn left”. After that I should ” Turn left at 県道263号線” whatever it means. It takes only 90 easy steps from where I am to Japan.
Happy New Year, everyone!
