Writing?

1. Wherever I arrived, I found myself at the tea shop.

2. Wherever I went, I found myself at the tea house.

Are the sentences meaningful and natural? What do they mean? Thanks in advance.

anonymousWhat do they mean?

Presumably you wrote them, so you should know what they mean, or at least what you intended them to mean. What were your intentions when you wrote these sentences?

If they are not your sentences, tell us where you saw them and provide a sentence or two that occurred before this one so we know the context a little better.
