I just thought, “maybe there is some nice buildings or pretty trees if I turn right on the street” when I was going back home from the local super market today.
Then I got lost in own neighborhood for 2 hours. Ah, I remember, I have a terrible sense of direction…
I heard that onions are a popular folk medicine to help in boosting memory. So, I had a big bowl of onion soup today for never get lost around my house again.
