I traveled to Japan without knowing anything about the language or address system. I was well and truly lost. Upon landing, I had the address of my hotel and knew what subway station I needed to get to, but the numbers on the buildings made absolutely no sense to me. They did not continue by linear means.
It was amazing.
I felt like I was truly in another world. Like I was on an adventure in a video game and had a puzzle I needed to solve. I found a little police hut and asked for help by showing them the address and looking confused. They gave me a map with hand drawn directions. I still have it.
You could probably still do this but just turning off your phone, but I feel like society is different now and people are more likely to wonder why you aren't using it.
Check out Ludwig's "Tip to tip" series. First was in Japan, second in China. The goal: cross the country on bikes without a map or a translator.
