I want my phone back


I've done very poorly in Berlin. Though I have the power of the internet at my places of work and slumber, I do not have it so constantly at my fingertips. This may make me sound like a yuppy, but I'm damn tired of trouncing around a city without an interactive map. I'm also tired of not being able to check my email or Facebook or whatever source originally told me where the event is at. Too many times my evenings have turned into city wandering as opposed to conversing with friends as I attempt in vain to find my desired location. I'm sorry, but pen and paper, you lose. And so does my memory. Perhaps this inability to prepare enough to find my destination is as much a result of having relied on my phone's guidance over so long as it is the shortcomings of conventional methods of pathfinding, but I don't really care at this point. I'm crippled and I want my crutch back.
There's just not enough room on my body to tattoo all the maps I need.
