Tell me about a time you got lost somewhere unfamiliar. What happened?

B Natural answer

Once I got lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood while looking for a museum. I turned the wrong way after leaving the bus stop, and then I started to panic a bit. I checked my map app and asked a shop owner for directions. In the end, I was only ten minutes late, so it turned out fine.
