Then, it was like the best feeling...
But you'd hate yourself if the Battery dies off when you're out and didn't go out with money for replacements.

4. We didn’t have GPS. If we ever lost our way on the road, we sucked up our pride and asked for directions!
Not everybody uses gps now and there are some places you must still ask questions because they're not in any map. Places like NdiamazuIkpaokpuehi.
