Lisa san seems to have lost her way. She asked a woman the way.
[02:02]
Lisa: Um… is the station in this direction?
Woman: No, not this way, but that way.
L: Is it within walking distance?
W: Well, let’s see, it will take 20 minutes. Go straight here and turn right at that traffic light. From there, follow the road about 15 minutes, and you will see the station, I guess.
