In my college days, I have been to America. At that time, I lost my way despite I can't speak English. After thinking and this way and that, I ask a parson as follows.
「Excuse me. I'm Japanese. I can't speake English. Where is Miami?」
It does not make sence. Probably, the place where I belonged was Miami too. For this reason, he couldn't answer anything. and then he walked away. I was really relieved when I had arrived at my hotel.
for your information, I just wanted to say
「I want to go the Miami station. Do you know where it is?」
