I have never actually been to a train station or an airport, but whenever I see images like this, my curiosity is piqued.

I tried to figure out what kind of doors these actually were; there were so many of them that I was left confused as to how they even operated. I’ve been to large supermarkets—the kind found in malls—but I’ve never encountered entrances as complicated as these.

Usually, a simple revolving door opens with just one turn; could it be that all these doors are located in the Netherlands, or perhaps somewhere else entirely on the other side of the globe? I don’t really trust Google, as it often gives dishonest answers.

Once, while traveling by train, we tried to find an address using Google Maps. We ended up going in circles—traversing the same street three times—yet we still couldn't locate the actual destination.

We eventually called the owner of the place we were looking for, and it turned out we were on the right street, but we needed to turn into a side alley that wasn't even on Google Maps. Ever since then, I’ve been a bit skeptical about how accurate Google Maps really is! 🤭

Even if it tells me to "turn right," I certainly wouldn't follow that instruction—there’s a deep river on the right side! I’m hardly going to drive straight into the water, am I? 😝.

Ooo I know how you feel! Once I tried Google Maps to walk to a mall in the city and ended up walking one big circle back to where I started! But it was also my fault because I wasn't (still am not) good at reading maps. Hahah! I am quite hopeless with directions.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
