Sound map
“Sound map” is a map, not depending on
information based on vision.
You will hear;
1. From office to the toilet, it will be
about 30meters.
2. Walk about 20 meters with the
wall on your left, and you will
find the end of the wall.
3. Turn to the 3o’clock direction,
and walk about 3meters, and
you will find another wall.
