Lost in Translation Posted October 17, 2017 Welcome! Looking for Tao is like going to the mall. The map says "You are here" with a little red arrow. The directory shows the store you want as #4B, in a slightly pink color. No matter what you do you can't seems to find it so you just head off in the same direction as all the other pink stores. Half way there you realize the map was upside-down and now you're completely lost. But that's cool 'cause there's a Starbucks and the line is short, so you might as well get a mocha-latte with whip since you are at the mall and what's the rush anyway? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
