Excuse me, I'm looking for Carrefour.

1st Stranger

Sorry, you want Carre'--what ?

Visitor
.

Carrefour. It's a big hypermarket around here somewhere.

1st Stranger

I've never heard of it. Sorry.

Visitor

Thanks anyway.

 
 
2. It's a  bit tricky        
                
 

Visitor

Excuse me, how do I get to Carrefour from here?

2nd Stranger
..

Hmm. It's a bit tricky. See here on your map, we are at Somyon.

Visitor
..

Yes, that's right. Where's Lotte?

2nd Stranger
.

Over there on your right. Now the big road going south from here is Chung-Angno. The subway runs under it.

Visitor
.

Do I have to follow that?

2nd Stranger

No you should go left from here, at right angles to Chung-Angno. Go straight for several blocks. That will bring you to Miogliori Department Store.

Visitor

Is it easy to see?

2nd Stranger

Oh yes, it is a huge thing, all glass and polished metal. When you see that, turn hard right and go straight ahead for , um, half a kilometer.

Visitor

Where will that get me?

2nd Stranger

Well, you'll come to an expressway flyover. Just on the other side of that, you'll see Carrefour, on the left.

Visitor

Uh-huh, thanks. It sounds a bit complicated, but I think I have it.

2nd Stranger

Ask if you get lost. Good luck.
