Where is Safeway?

Today something made me happy.
That was very simple.

When I went shopping at QFC in University Village which is big shopping mall, I was spoken by a stranger.
She asked me the way to go to Safeway.
I was surprised at her, I mean, I'm like a stranger too.
But I have gone to the grocery store.
Then I managed to explain how to go there to her, sometimes by means of gestures.
She said thanks to me.
That was nothing more, nothing less.
But somehow I was happy.
I don't think that I got speaking and listening to English better, But it seems to get used to Seattle life!?
But I think I haven't seen anything yet.
There is a long way to go...
