Ted and Ben are talking to each other on their cellphones in the Town Market.

Ted: Where are you? I’ve been waiting for thirty minutes.

Ben: How could that be? I came very early.

Ted: Aren’t we meeting each other at the Toy Store, next to Gate C?

Ben: No, at the 1, near Gate B.

Ted: Oh, no. I made a mistake. How can I get to you now?

Ben: I’m on the other side. Just 2. You’ll see me next to the Internet Café.

Ted: OK, but I want to 3 first. Do you know where to go?

Ben: Yes. Walk past the Music Shop and the Key Store. Then you’ll find the right place on your side of the market.
