You'll read a short description of the scene. Then, you'll watch it and spot seven differences.
In the beginning, he is holding suitcases and walking around the city. He doesn't have a map, and all he can see are buildings and streets that don't make any sense. He decides to ask for directions. The first person to help is a lady. She tells him to turn right, and points to a direction. He follows the directions and he starts thinking about how one day the streets and the people will all be familiar to him because he will have crossed the streets many times. He starts turning right and then left on a very busy street until he arrives at a beautiful park. When he arrives at the apartment he was looking for, and an old man tells him in Russian that the bell is broken.
