Hi again,
Ian's and Josip's mails made me remember on how great seemed to me the
instructions to arrive to the DebConf facilities near Helsinki in
2005. It is a somewhat similar setting, in that it was in a country
where people speaking only West-European languages (i.e. most of us)
would just stare at the signs unable to understand a beep. What they
did back then was great — And that's before the age of satellite maps
and widely available GPS. Take a look at this page:

http://debconf5.debconf.org/about/from_the_square_to_the_bus_station.html
http://debconf5.debconf.org/about/from_the_bus_stop_to_the_dorm
So, local-team: Please, would something like this be possible? I am
sure that would dissolve much of the current anxiety.
In addition to clear paths with the right photos, of course,
timetables (as accurate as they are in your country, as we foreigners
don't know if you are as punctual as North Europeans or as relaxed as
Latin Americans are [expected to be]).
Greetings,
