Hello world! I am finally back from Paris. This is my second trip there and many things are still the way it is. I will just cut the story short and talk about something bad which happened to my friend and I. Please don’t tell my mum.
Basically, our train was stucked for 1.5 hours in midway tunnel of France on our way back to Suisse. In the end, we missed the last bus from Fribourg to Bulle. It was impossible to walk home. The taxi ride would costs us 100 CHF, and you can do your own math…We didn’t think it was worth to spend the money thus we decided to put up in the train station and wait for the first bus ride. However, to our dismay, the police came and told us that we are not allowed to sleep inside as the whole station will be locked up. We then locked our luggages in the station and moved out to the streets. Because we used up our coins for the locker, we had no coins for toilet. There was no one around for exchange. Realising that it was dangerous and cold, we decided to head to the pub as it was the only open-till-late place. Unfortunately, the few hours there was a torture for me. Many guys approached and asked if I would love to have some pleasure. They started to talk about money and sex. One came, one left, the next came and so on… For that few hours, I was helpless. They talked dirty to me, they tried pulling me away, and the worst moment was when they tried to lure my friend away as she was constantly protecting me against their touch. At 3am, I could take it no more and thus we left the pub. The temperature outside was 6 degrees and we tried to find somewhere safe to rest but the only place to sit was at the bus stop…We could not take the kind of cold, plus, there were some blacks walking around…In the end, we went under the bridge. We then heard some people trying to steal the bicycles behind and we had to keep silent so as to prevent them from hearing us. i hid behind qian. It was really dramatic and I was reminded of the movie, “The pursuit of happiness”. We were hungry (as the last time we ate was 1pm), cold (I didn’t wear enough), tired (there was no place to sit), and I wanted to just sleep however my friend qian told me to stay awake as I might fall sick sleeping under the cold weather. Fyi, body temp is lowest at sleep. So we spent the whole night finding, moving, hiding….
I never imagined myself having this day. To laugh or to cry? I don’t want to talk about the details because I am trying to forget about it…At least, the train masters could have help us. It wasn’t our fault that we missed the last bus home. Right now, I am still in abit of SHOCK.



And the pictures above show our hiding place. Not as nice and clean as shown in the pictures…
Fucking helpless.
