Here's how I would say it . . .

1. Ok! First, Just go out of this place, go straight on Washington Street. Just pass the first intersection , and when you get to the second intersection, turn right. Keep going straight about 200 metres, it�ll be on your right beside a grocery store.

2. Just go along on this street, you�ll see a T-junction, turn right onto this road, you�ll see a small alley on the left. Just turn into the alley, Go straight about 10 metres, it�ll be on the right next to a small food shop.

3. Just go past the church about 20 metres, it�ll be on the right, right beside a big beauty saloon, and opposite a big company. It�s very easy to find, you can�t miss it.

4. � How can I get to your house from here?

Hope that helps. Good luck.
