Don't lose in London

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

I'm gonna tell you a weird/ funny story that happened to me long time ago.
When i was 15 years old, I travelled to different countries of Europe (Italy, England, Spain, France, and others). I was really happy because it was the first time that i travelled with friends and without my parents ( a little bit of freedom). In the moment that I was in London walking and looking at the stores with my friends (we were looking for forever 21, don't judge us, we're girls) then,we noticed that we didn't know where we were (yes, we were completly lost).

It's important to say that we're from Venezuela and that was the first time that we travelled to Europe AND our english at that moment was horrible, so our lost was something to worry about.
We started to ask to the people how to go to forever 21 (we really wanted to go there as you see). We asked the direction to at least 10 persons (not exaggerating) and they answered us... but we didn't understand anything (just a weird british accent) and let me tell you something... or not, let me explain you with an easy equation:

          Scared teenagers + A different country + 0 knowledge in English + Weird accent of other persons = Syntax Error

We took hours and hours looking for our hotel (yes, we gave up trying to find forever 21, we're scared). I was getting more desperate because I wanted to PEE (yup, but not anywhere, I wanted to pee in the hotel). We saw lots of mini stores selling different things so we decided to go to one of the stores and ask to one of the mens... that was a bad idea. The man we asked was rude and nasty, he looked us as a perverted (maybe he was one). Obviously we got more scared and started to walk fast and without looking back. Then, thanks God we found our hotel, we were so haaaaappy and relieved (especially me because I finally peed).
So...

Good things of that experience: I bought a cd of bastille and one of my favorite books and I visited one of the best cities that I've ever visited.

Bad things of that experience: almost everything... and the weird perverted man.
