      I mean at that point just ask what time it is, and then pair that with the knowledge that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and boom. You have a general sense of direction.

        So it’s summer season. Was it supposed to be a bit to the North, or a bit to the south? Or a lot to the north? until when is it considered summer anyway? October? November? It’s still pretty hot out there.

        The last time that happened, I was trying to hurry back home, before the rain started pouring. And guess what? I couldn’t see the sun.
