(1) OK, here is how to get to my house from the train station. Go out of the train station and turn left. Go about half a block and you will see a pub. At that intersection, turn right and go down that street for about three and a half blocks. Go past the post office, and you'll go past a river, and past a hospital and the first road past the hospital, you want to turn right. Go down that block two houses and you'll see my house on the right. It's the second house on the right and it's right next to the petrol station.

(2) OK, if I'm not home, then just go to my friends house, so I might be busy at work, so in that case, from my house turn right down the street and go past the gas station and keep going straight until you get to a bookstore. At the bookstore, turn right and go down the street until you get to the river. Go across the river and right across the river, my friend's house will be on the right-hand side. It is the first house across the river and it's right next to a 7-11.

(3) OK, if my friend's not home then just go and wait for me at Miki's Tavern. So, from my friend's house, go out and turn left. So go towards the river and turn left.

The garden has a pathway that goes through it so go left into the garden and walk through the garden to the street on the other side. When you get to the other side, turn right. Go past the post office and past the intersection, keep going and you will see a police station on the right. Go all the way to the end of the street.
