I would like to visit there, if I see great
attractions places in the movies and photographs. Once I visit there I am
disappointed in the old, worn-out look, unlike what I saw in the photographs.
For thousands of years, I imagined the people
who lived at that time watching the traces of dented wheels on the road. Thanks
to the ancestors who built stone and made it a memorial site, a lot of tourists
flocked to the city every day. "
I waited for the bus at Civitavecchia in Italy.
One of the mighty ancient cities, I wanted to visit Tarquinia, where the lords
and their ancestors lived in the area. Most people did not speak English, but I
was able to communicate with the bus driver. Since I can’t ride without a bus
ticket, I have to buy ticket at the tobacco store.
I went to get a bus ticket, but I came back
empty-handed and waited for a long before telling the bus driver to accept the
cash. The driver hesitating to just beckon to ride! In my small eyes, which
excited me about free charge, Tarquinia came to me with a daja vu phenomenon.
I moved my foot like a stamp an alleys, at some
point I felt as if I had seen this alley in my past life. Looking down from the
highest point, the winter landscape of the Tuscany countryside was enough to
feel the rewarding experience.
At the bus stop, in addition to us, tourists of
two couples waited anxiously for a bus that did not come and exchanged episodes
that we experienced in Italy.
One of them said, “A long time ago, the last
bus didn’t come during I trip in Italy. I remember that I spent the night in a dark bus
stop, shivering with cold and riding in the early morning bus. Isn’t traveling
a lot more of an unexpected experience than seeing a tourist attractions?"
We all agreed.
Then suddenly changed the topic and asked us,
"Are you from North Korea?” My husband said, "My parents were born in
Hamheung, second city in North Korea and we were born in South Korea."
"Have you been to North Korea?" She asked again. "No, but if
unification occurs in my life, I really want to visit my parents' hometown.”
