Richy felt totally lost.
The signboards did not help.
She could not understand the local language.
Richy could not blame anyone.
The decision to visit this foreign city was entirely hers.
She thought she would see and learn new things.

And then she remembered!
Richy had a 24X7 friend, philosopher & guide!
She took the help of that intelligent friend!
She quickly pointed her smartphone to the signboard.
Using an app, the internet, and technology, she had the translation in English!
The signboard read- "Tourist Information."
Richy felt rich!
