Whole Town Looking for Student

This Saturday night, a new student came to live at my house.  He was supposed to arrive around 5:30.  Here it was, 6:00 and he wasn't at the house.

I hear yelling at the front gate, which is not anywhere near abnormal.  It was the neighbor, dramatically informing my host mom that her student was wondering around town.... lost.  I guess someone had spotted him near the bus station and then told someone who told her.... Haha.  I just had this image of a whole chain reaction of gossip drama reaching our house. 

Anyways, it turns out the student wasn't really lost - he was just walking to our house.  The crisis and the neighborhood alert chain of communication was pretty amusing, though.  What I wondered was, instead of telling everyone.... why didn't one of those people just lead him to the house?

    The yelling and such is more a tribal effect.
