What would you do, if you wandered into Gensokyo?

We talked about this in the chat thread once, but I thought "Why not make a thread about it, since we just got a wave of new people" and since I can't find the posts in the mystic square for some reason.
What I would do:
Flip my shit for the first 10 minutes.
Ahem.
So, if I wandered into Gesokyo, presumably through the Hakurei Shrine, the top priority is to get to the human village because 1. Its safe there 2. So Reimu doesn't change her mind and chuck me back the the outside world 3. The shrine is seen as a gate of the Hakurei barrier and its much easier to get in through a gate than through a wall. So i'm at the Hakurei shrine, I would wait for shrine maiden to show up, then try to persuade her to let me stay, give her a donation (such as an interesting trinket from the outside world or just coins to see if you can fool her) to see if she will turn a blind eye. I am guessing she will let you stay a few days and if you are still there after that duration she'll send you back through the barrier. So, in that time I would try to see if I can catch a ride with one of the frequenters of the shrine such as Marisa to go to the human village. Marisa is a nice person and all Magicians like to listen to new, interesting things, so I would tell her about the outside world and/or give her someone on my person such as my phone for her to go experiment/sell as payment. Catching a ride with someone is a very good idea because Gensokyo is a dangerous place, you would probably get eaten by a stray youkai if you are wandering around alone, especially since you have no idea where the human village is!
So now, im at the human village *somehow*, what I would do is to find Keine. Thing is currently im more or less useless in Gensokyo, I have no occupation and the human village isn't as welcoming and devoid of manpower to hire some random person in funny clothes with unknown origins. I'll need to feed myself eventually or freeload of someone for the time being. So to improve Gensokyo skills, ideally, I would like to learn medicine from Eirin. Problem is to how to get my ass to Eientei without getting eaten in the process. Keine is a teacher and likes people who want to learn and better themselves, she will most likely support my endeavour to go the Eientei. So she will probably introduce me to Mokou, since Mokou is the bamboo forest of the lost's guide, i'll be safe.
So, if I make it to Eientei, I need to prove my value as a student for Eirin to maybe take me on, for this, prior knowledge of science from the outside world would probably be helpful. This is because there aren't all that many people who know science in Gensokyo. If she takes me on, perfect then i'll be occupied for a few years and in that time who knows what will happen by then.
If she doesn't, then i'll just end up back at the human village, then i'll talk to Akyu and ask for methods of bettering myself to a point where I am relevant enough so I don't get killed when I talk to people like Sakuya.
Worst case scenario, just go back to Reimu and she'll send you back across the border.
So, what would you guys do?
