March 22: Writing Prompt #81-Stranded

You’re stranded in a foreign city for a day with no money and no friends. Where do you go; what do you do?
Well, if there is a tourist information office nearby, I’ll probably head there first to get some information, particularly on free things to do in the city. This usually includes historical walking tours, etc…If not, and I had a phone with me, I’d look up free things to do in that particular city and take the time to learn something about it given that I have only one day here and don’t know if I’ll ever make it back. 
Not sure why I would be stuck for a day with no money (especially in today’s world of “electronic money”), but if that was the case, the only problem would be food. I’m sure I would get hungry, and I’m not sure how I would buy food. So, if I did get really hungry, I would look for the nearest shelter or soup kitchen to let them know about my situation and offer to wash the dishes or help serve food for awhile in exchange for a meal afterwards. 
Hopefully, by the end of my one day in a foreign city, I will have made some friends, so that next time, I will have somewhere to go. J 

Not a very creative answer I suppose…what would you do?
