X The opposite side of the main entrance
Tim says:
When I saw this sign, I didn’t notice the map, because I was so focused on the strange English. I was standing to one side of the main entrance, and “the opposite side” should be the other side of the doorway — but on the other side, all I found was another sign exactly like this one!
But if you notice the map, you can see that the “taxfree counter” is actually, not on the opposite side of the entrance, but rather opposite, or facing, it. More clearly, we would say that it’s at the back of the store.
O At the back of the store
