An excited man calls the fire department and says, "Help me, my house is on fire!!"
The fireman says, "Where do you live?"

The man replies, "I am too excited, I can't tell you the exact address."

The fireman asks, "How do you expect us to get there?"

The man replies, "What do you mean 'how'? The big red truck."

Cheers!

Maybe it is Wellington Street in Hong Kong. Or the Causeway bay.

The world is getting smaller, and there are maps, guides and technology such as the GPS. If you have a mobile phone with the Global Positioning System, there is a way to go.

Many people are like that, they know the place but cannot tell the address. When asked, they would probably say: "Walk through the next block, straight, until you reach a zebra crossing, then turn right, and walk until you see a MacDonald, turn left and you will come to a lift. Go into the lift and press 20 floor, and get out on the left, the second unit."

We are living in a concrete jungle, multistories of high rise buildings, apartments that are 50 floors high. The older folks do not know their home address. They do not know the name of their street in English, Smith Street in Singapore is called "Dead People Street" because it was full of funeral pallors.
