Matt and Natalie and Figuring out how to get places

From a conversation today:

me: I want to get a notebook for working on french stuff
Matt: ok. hop down to coop after work.
it's super easy to find.
me: How do I get there?
Matt: simple.
go out the upper door at the ILO
me: like where we were on my first day?
Matt: Yes.
walk all the way in front of the building, and then follow the path on your left.
me: define the front of the building
Matt: all the way across the front of the building, yes.
the side that faces the fenced off reflection pond
that's the front
me: like go out the door and turn left
Matt: yes.
me: and then on the other side of the building there is a staircase
ok
Matt: yes, when you get to the bottom, take a right.
that's Allee David Morse.
you'll go past the Hong Kong mission
and come to Route de Ferney
take a left on to Route de Ferney, and cross the route at the very first zebra crossing.
and go up the staircase.
me: are their signs?
Matt: you'll be in a parking lot and the building front of you is a small indoor mall.
yes, for the allee.
and there are signs to get back to the ILO too
marked...
ILO
me: the staircase is in the mall or the parking lot?
me: I am confused
Matt: lol.
go out ILO
walk across the front of the building, past the other exit.
walk away from the other exit, take a left at the statue, this path takes you to Allee David Morse.
take a right on Allee David Morse.
walk to Route de Ferney
take a left, cross at the first Zebra Crossing.
go up the small staircase and you'll be in the parking lot across the road from a small indoor mall with a Coop and pharmicie
me: what statue?
Matt: lol
you know the upper level exit where you went in the first day?
me: yes
Matt: go across the front of the building to the other exit.
got that?
me: yes
Matt: ok, at the other exit, walk directly away from the building.
go straigh until their a path on your LEFT
me: which direction away??
Matt: DIRECTLY AWAY
me: every direction at the edge of a building is directly away
Matt: lol
me: unless you walk into the building, you are walking away from it
Matt: sigh
