yep this is it! best and worst day of my trip
first te bad side:
got up at 7:30 took the bus then the subway to downtown. on the subway while it was shaking some man grabs my arm for his balance. yet strangely hedoes no let go after that. another shake he holds with two hands. now i am from egypt - sexual harassment is part of my daily routine - but this was creepy! so he keeps on holding tighter and tighter and bringing my arm closer to him. by that point i have aready said every prayer i know. the next shake i put my arm really quickly as if it is by accident then offer him to hold on the reiling (is that spelled correctly?) and i steped backwards. thank god he did not follow me.
so by then i was very tense. so i got to the tower and take the teleferic/cablecar there,then look at some sights. in the tower there was a 3d theater. i could not resist. so i went in. it was about dinasours. after 3 minutes i ran out dead scared - even though it was not scary at all.
so i sya okay let's relax a bit - andgo to the fairy tale land. i go in, it starts nicely with snowwhite then escalates to a wizard then it becomes dark and scary. at this point i am nearly in tears so i ran back out sooo quickly.
again i do not know what was going on with me.
i went to the market, saw shady and gave him the biggest hug i have ever given anyone, i was soo happy to see a common face.
fast forward to the way home. 11:30 pm metro station - half empty.
now remember when your mommy told you "don't talk to strangers?" LISTEN TO HER. SHE IS RIGHT!! a man in his late twenties notices me and i notice him - we have somehting in common. we are both non-koreans. so he walks up to me ans asks me if i speak english, so i had to answer, i find out he's from morroco. so i smile politely and try to end the conversation. wishful thinking!
he comes closer to look at my map - and he stinks of alcohol. beer mainly. after that he asks me to go for coffee, i politely reject. he asks me to go out tomorrow - again politely reject saying i am going home, he asks questions about where i am staying, who i am living with etc and i make up some stories.
he gets on the metro with me - asks me out one more time - again i politely reject. ask for my number - i claim i dont have one - asks to help me out - no thanks - gives me his card - takes my email (i gave him the wrong one) - all the time his tougue was a bit heavy - he didnt walk straight and didn't seem quite that sober.
i finally manage to get to my station which seemed to take hours than the assumed 15 mins, by then i was completely freaked out. thank god nothing happened and i got home safely, but nervous as shit, i could have peed in my pants.
okay the good part comes later
