Little does he know his first search got him to the site he wanted before he heads out. He enters the website and looks to the left navigational bar for the menu and rolls over Restaurants to get a sub menu of the different types of restaurants available at Kensington Market. He clicks and enters a Japanese restaurant site where the map shows and highlights the location of the restaurant.

Alex has found the location of the place he wants to go for dinner however he saw a interesting venue for that place and deciced to look more into Asian food/culture by clicking the "Asian" tab on the time line. Alex was provided with much information about the different types of Asian cultures Kensington has to offer and also a little history about Japan. This got him interested in Japanese tea ceremonies and such, so he went and started to browse around under Merchandise and found out that Kensington did have a Japanese merchandise store under the rollovers. He enters clicks and enters to find the location of that store also to find a little description of what time it closes and opens.

Before Alex gets out of his house and heads over to Kensington Market, he quickly tries to draw the map and write down the merchandise and restaurant name but then he saw the print map button ans was relieved instantly. He quickly prints out the map and starts to head out towards the market for a long and enjoyable night.


 * User Scenario #3**

Kristin is visiting her friend in Toronto this weekend. She has heard alot about the great clothing finds in this place called "Kensington Market". Kristin is really intrigued, and wants to make sure that she gets to the market during her visit to the city, so she searches for "Kensington Market Shops" on the internet. Her search brings up a few different websites, and based on the description of our site system, she chooses to click on it.

Upon Entering the site, Kristin sees a map of the entire Kensington market venue, spanning across a whole city block. Kristin could be a bit overwhelmed by all of the landmarks listed on the market map, yet she immediately notices a menu bar beside the map that lists different categories such as "merchandise", "restaurants" and "places of interest". She immediately clicks on merchandise, as that is solely what she was interested in finding out more information about.

Upon clicking "Merchandise" all of the stores within the Kensington market map that sell merchandise become highlighted on the map. A list of stores also unfolds under the merchandise tab- each of which Kristin can click on to find out more information about. Kristin clicks on a few stores that she finds appealing to see what they sell. She notices that in the description of each store, there is an option to click "Visit this Store".

Curiously, Kristin checks yes on this option for a store that she finds appealing. A note comes up saying, "Checking this option will mark this store on a printable map, so that you can print it out and keep it for your travels."

Kristin is pleased with this feature. She continues browsing stores, reading their descriptions, and checking the "visit this store" option on stores that she really likes.

After browsing through the entire list of stores on the Kensington Market website, Kristin decides that she might check out the restaurants listed on the site. She browses through the list of restaurants, reading descriptions of what they have to offer, similarily as she did with the list of stores that the website provided. She decided to click the "Visit this restaurant" on a few restaurants, determining that she would pick from those few once she arrived in the market.

When she was finished browsing, Kristin clicked the "Print Map" option on the website, to print out a personalized map which highlighted all of the places that she planned to visit during her trip to the market.

Kristin had obtained the information that she had sought out, as well as another tool to help her during her visit to Kensington market.
