Hm ... the Oker river is maybe the only way I could manage the
cardinal directions one day here in Brunswick, since it divides the
city from the North to the South. All the larger streets are either
NW-SE or NE-SW. They're far from making up a perfect grid, especially
in the old town. Anyway, I've never been good at knowing the cardinal
directions off the top of my head.
