Situation: I am facing the curtains with a few suitcases to my left.
Alternative situations: I am opening the curtains to my room in front of me after having a good night 's sleep in bed behind me. I am standing in front of the suitcase and facing the curtains trying to peak out of the curtain and see what I can see outside.
Question: What is nearer to me the suitcases or the dumbbells?
