I would make use of that palm trees to kill myself or the river to just drown me instead. hahaha.. I'm never away of my city alone and probably it'll be scary to go out there (alone) with nothing but palm trees and the thing that you're stuck there. huh. that's going to be a h*ll of a situation. hehehe.. i'll try the river, there might be another people and use the river. I'll go wherever the riiver flows or there might be an ocean at the end of the river.

i will dig a hole and stay there until i die ;).. no i will not just die easy like that, so you say i only have a pocket knife then i use it to cut my throat haha just kidding again, don't get mad ok.. first thing is find place to stay for safety and the rain. second is stock of fresh water so i will not die early :). and i will find higher place so i can see all around the island, after that i will find a suitable place where i can put fire on it where it will can see from sky and ocean so if some come then i can give some signal using the fire. the other thing make life as normal like we did it at home, find food, find woods and etc. oh and if i am boring i will sing all the day lol ;)

I'll look around for branches or palm leaves and form an sos message along the beach. I might use some fruits too to add color :-) I'll find some sort of vessel where I can store water. I'll make some sort of shelter just in case it rains. I'll make sure I have enough scrap wood to start a fire when the evening comes. When I get bored, I'll look around the island to find some other inhabitants. who knows, I might find an airstrip or ship port at the other side? :-)
