I thought so, too. Granted, I'm a man that comes from a village named Konoha.

North? Your guess is as good as mine. There should be maps available on the network here, and around the city. Just watch out for the crabs, and stay out of the water and the tunnels. And if you're looking for a place to set up for the night, Hotel Pennsylvania is a good bet. Theres a few people gathered here already, my family being one of the groups.
