Dérive



ADVENTURE TIME

I wasn't quite sure how i'd do this. But I did.

I chose the Paper Plane (option 2) because it was a little bit bizarre and I was curious to see if I would get lost trying this. In the beginning I threw the paper plane a couple of times and it just kept on flying back towards my house. At that point I could have taken a hint and went back inside but I kept throwing. Once a direction was chosen by my magical paper aeroplane.

Once I'd gotten to the end of the first street, my instruction was to walk "westerly", so I practically had to do a 360 degree turn and walk back the direction I'd come. All of the streets in my neighbourhood are long and windy so it took a couple of minutes to get to the first street. I passed a lot of street tags on the way.

From this point I had to turn "left then right". There was a lot of greenery on this street. It had a really natural feel to it. Ive never walked around this street before and I liked it so I think i will walk there again in the future.

After turing right, I had to take the first "left then walk another 100m". The first half of this stretch was quite, hilly. No people, not much green. Very brown and bland. I didn't like it. I had to walk around a fallen bin and a fallen tree branch. After that I saw that the environment kind of warmed up a bit. There was some cars driving past. I got beeped at by a stranger! Which is always offsetting and uncomfortable.

I then arrived at a familiar street that I realised that I walk home on everyday from university. It was easy to "get back to my original point using an alternative route" because the road I had turned "left" onto goes straight home. My entire journey took around 22 minutes in total. The streets were very long and its also the reason why there are fast times lapses in my 'Adventure Time' video above. It was good to be home :)
