Dear Papa,
First of all, I hope you are doing fine. I miss you and I hope you can come back in some months.
I am also doing fine. But I would like to tell you about an experience that I had some weeks back. It's about the time I had to go to Korea for that international conference.
It happened on the day after the main conference when we all head back to our hotel. My friends wanted to take a rest and so they slept. I, on the other hand, was still wide awake. Planning to be a nice friend, I ventured out of the hotel to get us some snacks so that the guys won't feel hungry when they wake up from their nap.
It was then that things got worse. I did manage to get out of the hotel, took a bus, and then went to a restaurant to get us some local, Korean food. I must have wandered off when I realized it was time to get back to the hotel. Then I realized that I have no idea where I was and that I didn't speak or understand Korean. I have been wandering for a while, mesmerized by the sights and people, I guess.
I tried my best to get help from passersby but to no avail. I tried calling my friends but didn't get an answer. After maybe, almost 30 mins or so, I got ahold of a young teen who, luckily, was good in English. He helped me get a taxi and told the driver my hotel's name and then sent me off even before I could thank him properly.
If not for that teenager, I would have been lost for a really long time. I sometimes think back to what would have happened if I hadn't met him. I was a stranger, a foreigner who doesn't understand or know the local language. I might still be stuck there, completely lost on my own.
From that day, I made it a point not to venture out on my own in an unknown location. And that's what I've been doing ever since. And I hope that doesn’t happen to you, considering you’re there all alone, far from us and struggling in a foreign country.
Anyway, I hope you take care. I miss you, Mom misses you too. Please try to get back as soon as you have time.
Take care, and will see you soon.
Your son,
Ash.
