Scenarios for Evin

Scenario 1 - Evin

Evin and her boyfriend wants to visit the “Wasa museum”, too bad their hotels wifi doesn’t work. They could turn on their smartphone-internet  but that would cost a lot. Therefore they go to the hotel reception in hope of finding out the best way to the museum. They get a map, where the receptionist has written a good route for them, somewhere around Slussen they should see a boat called “Djurgården” which will take them to the correct stop. A bit shaky but they stick to this plan. In Slussen they can’t find the boat! The place is way too big and they have to stand at the correct position, this would be a good time for Google maps. Evin takes out her phone and checks exactly where the boat stops, then quickly turns off the internet and smiles stressfully. The rest goes pretty smoothly, the guy at the entrance helps them, in good english, with buying tickets. 
On the boat they realise that no speaker will tell them where to get off, damn! They have to pick up the phone again. It shows them on a map where they should get off the boat, but the map is very hard to read, not knowing the city. To solve this they ask a couple on the boat, hopefully they have heard about the museum and knows where it is. Indeed they do, and with a lump in their chest, they get off and find their way to the museum.

Scenario 2 - Evin

Evin and her boyfriend got a tip from another tourist at their hotel that "Skansen" is a really nice place to visit and that it's located at "Djurgården". They decide to go and heads off but quickly realizes that they forgot to ask where "Djurgården" is! Already at the closest subway station, they ask a passerby where Djurgården is. They get a hasty answer about "Slussen" and some boat. The couple wing it, and heads off to Slussen. Once there they are a bit confused about where to go, they have no idea what exit to take. They decide to compromise between the left and the right exit and takes the middle exit. They reach the outside square, sun glaring in their eyes, and to their delighted surprise they see water. The boat has to be nearby. They make their way down the confusion that is Slussen towards the water. Suddenly, Evin's boyfriend lets out an awkward yelping sound while he points to some point over yonder. Evin looks towards where he's pointing and sees a boat that has something written on it in large letters. They deduce that the boat looks like a ferry boat, because of the large amount of people on it. They head over to where the boats seems to be landing and walk up to a small building located there. They see a sign on the building that says "Ticket office", they walk up to the person working there. Luckily the man they end up talking to is fluent in english and has a map where he shows where they are going and describes the remaining journey in detail. The day has been saved!
