Lina: Once upon a time, being a threesome on a motorbike is something, I will not do (even if you bribe me).So watch my open-mouthed, puzzled face when we found out that we were haggling prices for 1motorbike for the 3 of us (including the main rider).
The simple safe ride ended up being another adventure on its own.We ran, hide, stoop, hide and changed shirts(identity and faces, if possible) and escaped away from our "tormentors". Somewhat like those Hollywood flicks.
To hide our tracks, we blended in with the surroundings....
We took the local buses, mingle with the locals, try their local sport and even learn their art of body languages (confused headshakes of yes and no) and not forgetting their beautiful language (which almost often get us into trouble).
In a rush to escape our own shadows, I left something back there. Perhaps my wet muddy feet steps...and some droplets of crystal tears....
Put aside those anxious heartbeats, and cold beads of perspiration moments,I remembered those enjoying moments of walking in the rain at random places of many different districts. Enjoying their street snacks while others were busy seeking shelter.
I remembered all emotions vividly.Happyness, excitement, heart weeping, raw tender sincerity, anguish frustrations, overwhelming tiredness, random shutdown and blank-ness etc.
Hmm....I am human after all.
Note: This WHQ travel is a first time trial of collaboration between me and Bryan.We are different in so many ways yet like-minded in various aspects of life. I am a Muslim.He is a Christian. I'm from Singapore and he is from Malaysia.Together, we hope that our travels can encourage love, peace, happyness thruout the world.We hope we can sow these seeds everywhere we go and to share with whoever that we meet.Because irregardless whatever skin colour, age, gender, religions etc.... We believe that we are ONE. No one is superior to another.Everyone has their own greatness. Everyone has gifts to give to the world.
To be continued...
