An Experience One Could Never Forget

This is a story of a foreigner (my Korean student actually) who makes his place in a foreign land - Our Philippines.That was Saturday when he and his friends were trying to make an outside fun. At first they drank some beer in one ministore near their dormitory. Since it was weekend, drinks did not last long. So they decided to transfer to another place. It was a twenty - four - hour store that caters foods and drinks.It was almost 1:55 am when they decided to go home. As they walk along the street, suddenly, the rain fell. They did not mind the falling rain at that moment, when one of their friends shouted for help. There were thieves behind them. He tried to help their companion and he decided to run after the two young thieves.Since the rain fell slightly, he felt like sliding in his own feet. And thus, he couldnt run as fast as he could. In his eagerness to catch the thieves he took off his slippers and ran as fast as he can. he was then shouting the words:"Stop! Drop the wallet!You silly thieves! I’ll kill you when I catch you!" But they couldnt stop running so he still followed them. The pursuit lasted for ten minutes. Then, the thieves finally dropped the wallet in the middle of the high way. he was panting while picking up the wallet. It was good thing that the money was in tact and that no belonings was lost.He then have to go back to the dorm where they stay. He walked to the direction where he came from barefooted. He looked for the street going to the dorm but he couldn’t find it. He lost his way going back the dorm. Brave Korean tried to find his way back for almost an hour. but he couldn’t.He then decided to cross the high way and looked for something to ride on going back to the dorm. On the high way, he saw one private car coming. he knocked on the window to ask for help but the driver snobbed the pitiful foreigner. He was a wet chick, barefooted and lost in the dark early morning where he can not find the dawn of the new day. When finally there came a tricycle. He took it going to the dorm. The driver looked strange upon seeing the strange passenger. Finally, he was able to come back home at three in the morning. There ends his adventure in the morning rush.When the sun rose that same day, he and his friends traveled to Guimaras for a trip. He wanted to get a tour guide. His other friend suggested one. But the one who gave the guide could not be with them. So he had to look for the guide.Good thing they have photo with them. When they reached the Guimaras harbor, they couldnt find the man. He thinks all Filipinos looked the same. So they had to ask other people for help. But no one could help them. When one of the man told them they might get on the wrong harbor. There are actually two harbors in Guimaras. One is Buenavista and the other one is Jordan. Unfortunately they were in Buenavista, which no one knows the guide. So they had to take a jeepney going to Jordan harbor. They decided to drop by one of the mini store because they had buy cell phone card to be able to use the phone to make a call for the guide.After the call in the ministore, they let the store owner see the photo. Surprisingly, the store owner told them, the man they are looking for is one of his family. That the guide is living in the same house as the owner. What a lucky luck!(hehehehehehe….)O, finnish na!
