The 7th of March.
I was supposed to set out but I had delayed my flight to the 8th with personal reason.
Anyways, I was prepared. Saying good-bye to my friends, Having a kinda farewell party. There was just one person left to see who I had liked, who is one of my closest friends now.
I called her to arrange to meet, then she told me to come to the pub where she was working and sleep in her house. Cool, it did sound okay.
I said GOOD-BYE to all my other friend, and got there. I poped over the pub first and met her, drank a bit. After that, I went to her house, waited for her and fell asleep(She had work till a bit later.)
Next morning, no one was beside me. Nobody but some insects. Good. It was the best day to leave the country. I didn't want people to send me off in the airport. But at least, I wanted to hear this word, "Take care of yourself.", from somebody who is close to me on my leaving day. And there was NOBODY but some cockroaches.
I said "GOOD the f*cking BYE." to the door of her house, not calling anybody, not telling anybody about this pity situation.
So, I had a really impressive send-off, being alone in the international airport on my first time to go abroad, 9months, not a short-time trip, ROMANTIC. Somehow, I arrived to Hong-kong airport as the first transit. Everything seemed okay. I was looking around, enjoying the new world, broadening my eyes. Then, I realised that I didn't know which gate I had to go.
Well, the only way I could do was calling the company...
I : "Yeo-Bo-Se-Yo?(Hello in korean)"
There : "Hello."
I : "Ah........."
Yes. I was not standing on the land of Korea anymore. Fuck, I WAS NOT IN KOREA. FUCK. IT WAS TIME TO START SPEAKING ENGLISH.
My fisrt, famous, lovely, fantastic, absoltuely gramatically correct English sentence.
"I NO SEE MY GATE NUMBER."
Cool, There is no doubt she understood at that time. Then, of course, she mumbled some kinda long sentence what I couldn't understand. I just caught one word. "wait" and I said "Thank you." to be polite! Then? Yes, she hung up the phone. WHAT?
Now, I had to think, to guess. She said "wait" then, hung up. If she had been tried to check something or connect to anybody else, she wouldn't have hung up. So by that assumtion, I guessed that the meaning of "wait" was "Wait for a while then you will see.". Yes! It was! Couple of hours later, I could see the gate numbers on the electric bulletin board! YES! My English was not too bad!! (Or I was not THAT stupid....)
Anyhow, I managed to reach Ireland well. 10th of March, 9:00am,
I WAS FECKING STANDING IN DUBLIN AIRPORT.
(Yes it took me more than 24hours. Also because of the time difference, I lost 9hours more.)
