proofread pls? ^_^



so, i passed a translation test for oxfam japan and they sent me a
manuscript to translate. the only problem is, while with translations
of conceptual stuff it's ok to be a little bit vague or presume things
at times, to put two-and-two together. but when it's directions, i
don't have that luxury, i really want to make sure it's 100% right so
i don't send hundreds of people off to get lost in the mountains. and
i suck at directions even in english. there were a few bits i wasn't
too clear on in this translation, so i thought i'd get it double-
checked by smarter people than me, thanks ^_^
