Unexpected things

#1
When I was in Holland, I had to move from Wormerveer to Amsterdam to find my fortune.
In the train station, I thought there was a ticket office. But there were only some automatic machines. I was embarrassed because I didn't have enough coins. Fortunately one man helped me and gave a ticket to Amsterdam. We talked and I gave him my e-mail address. The day before yesterday, I received his e-mail. I was happy.

Yesterday, I went to Copenhagen to interview the man who has lived in Christiania for 30 years. My special ability is losing my way. I walked a long way in the wrong direction. In front of Vesterport station, I stopped and checked my map. One old man approached to me and explained how to get to Christiania. I was surprised. I didn't ask to him but he spoke to me first and helped. He also gave me his address. I was very thankful to him. Today, I sent him e-mail. Before I wrote a letter, I couldn't read his handwriting. So I wanted check his name at Google. I could find his name and his e-mail address easily. He is an architect!

While the man explained the way to me, somebody touched me. When I turned back, I was surprised. There was a Chinese friend who I met in IPC. She is a fantastic Chinese traditional dancer(I love her dance!) and I really wanted to meet her. I was joyful. But she didn't have time because she had to go to Danish academy. I got her phone number...

After interview, I lost my way again. Anyway, I walked and walked.. Finally, I found shoping road(?) and I saw a Fillipino who I met in IPC as well. Denmark is too small? Maybe, Copenhagen is too small. I heard from him about IPC friends...

Theseday I don't feel good. Nevertheless, I was very happy to meet these unexpected happenings.

How are you? You are really coming to Denmark soon? When? If you decide the date, please tell me. I'll be in Denmark surely until the end of February or uncertainly until March...

Huang is learning Danish about four hours per day. If you come to Denmark, we can stay Huang's house on weekends. She invited me. Carlos is working in a big restaurant and also working in IPC. He's helping Garba. I think it's about a computer. And he's studying in a college and staying at his uncle's house.(That's why he isn't staying at his auntie's house. hahaha... )

I hope we can meet soon~

Your Doo :)
