If you see you got there down that mean you've gone too far- London you may know.

Sometimes I do like taking a journey. Not in that literal meaning you usually associate with the word 'journey', but the mental ones, the ones happening at night when you leave home taking only a camera and a pack of cigarettes. Then, in the dark, you don't really get to know the place. You get to know yourself, what to you notice when no one else can see, and what do you expect to see. 


 On Wednesday night I was heading down to Shoreditch to listen to a (free) concert of a band formed by staff of Financial Times. I made a plan to reach the place when I was supposed to meet my friends by nine. Plan was an important part of this process as I usually get lost even in my own pocket. I spoke to Google maps regarding that issue and it helped me draw a small sketch of the simpliest way I had found. At the end of its' advice Google said: 'If you reach down the Curtain Road, that means you've gone too far'. That means you've gone too far.
