is it that unusual?

I really surprised our friend last evening. She's late 20s or early 30s, quite pregnant, and we had taken a group to Nara to see the evening lanterns (it's obon season, and they light up the stone lanterns, so you can walk in the evening and enjoy).
( Which way did they go? )

I guess I'm just a pragmatist at heart. Need to know where something is? Ask someone who should know for directions. It's pretty simple.
