A letter from Rossitravel

YY said her "Italian brother" is coming to visit Bali and she asked me to take care of him.

I agreed.

Since we had not met before, I told him when I picking him up from the airport, I will have a placard in my hand with his name on it.

When we saw each other, we was surprised with each other. It didn't cross my mind that he is not a Chinese, I thought he is a Chinese coming from Italy.

"I thought you a Chinese!" I said.

"I thought you were taller!" He said.

We laughed.

When we entered the car, I told him I have not speak English for a while because almost all my customers are French.

"Ahhh... don't worry, I don't speak much English also."

Dear Titak,

Greetings from Udine, Italy.

Thank you for driving me safely around Bali.


Thank you for telling stories of your country. It was interesting, and I have learn a lot.

Though these are only simple words, but they did not explain my feelings...


It was not just a holiday. It was a journey to a culture, history, religion, and life.
You were the guide who took me through all of that.

It was an honour to have met your family, visited your village, and your home. It taught me a lot.


Thank you Titak, thank you my friend.


Andrea
