The only thing that makes me feel estranged when traveling is seeing locals move around in a way that suggests that they are totally comfortable in that location. Seeing that makes me feel as if I don’t know where I’m going/doing [which for the most part it probably true]. Public transportation in new cities is a funny thing. It intimidates me beyond belief yet somehow I always manage to find my way around, navigating foreign subway maps in other languages [sometimes being incredibly new & seemingly complex can seem like another language]. It’s a really great feeling, to make it to your destination in one piece.
