Beautiful People

by Denok Purborini (Indonesia)

I didn't expect to find Indonesia

I guess people are right about what they said "stranger is just a friend that we haven't known yet" yeah I believe if that's true. Cause everyone that I met in every journey that I've been through just amazing. There are different kind of people with different personalities. And I found out that this thing is really interesting.few months ago when I travel to another city at Jogjakarta. I found someone that really kind, she's from Germany. We were meeting at train station's restroom. She was waiting a line to enter the room, and I was standing there on wastafel. She asked me and smiling at that time, "are you on the line? " I said I'm not, thanks for asking. But when she was about to enter the restroom she was little bit shocked cause the toilet just different than she ever known. It's Asian squatjump toilet .then we laughed, and seeing at each other. Thinking that it's so funny, after that we talked a little bit, she told me about herself and I told her about me either. It's all was going incredible until we've to say goodbye cause my train is coming, and sadly I forgot to ask her contact. But I'm so happy to get to know her. She's just friendliest girl that I've ever met, and she bring great vibes toward me. Love her lots. There's another story too, I met my Russian friend, he's pretty cool and he's traveler who never come back to his country. All he has been doing is go wherever he want and meet strangers. We talked alot in that coffee shop. He's surprised me cause he could talk about my language a little bit. and the funniest thing is he's more understand and know about my city rather than me. hahaaa, and he always teased me like. hey you know what, I'm your travel guide okay, so follow me. Deep inside I'm just be like, ouch damn it. who's Indonesian here, me or him Hahah. and by the way he is so tall. probably he is 200cm and I'm 159cm. of course I'm a hug able person, we really had good time together and we spent alot of time for 3 weeks, and it really gone well. I'm so happy that I could met someone like him. It just perfect. Oh yeah after 1 month in this city, he decided to travel to another country again. And I told him, that I'm gonna miss him so much. Then he told me that he'll come back soon. At that time I hugged him and tell him to not to forget about me. After that day I go back to my city and I come back to Jogjakarta to met him and give him some foods from my city to be tried by him. Then he was really happy, cause I bring his favorite food too. It's Jack fruit, I really wanted to record his reaction cause it was really cute ahah. But he's pretty shy person so what can I do ahah. Then on 25 December he went to Malaysia and Hongkong. Sometimes we still try to keep in touch, he'll back soon to my city, I can't wait to see him. I like his personality, I adore what he's doing alot. I dont understand how can someone be that confidence and have no fear to get lost or something. So I learnt alot from him. I'm a such an anxious person so,our personality is really contradicting. He's prefer visit historical places rather than night food street like me. I prefer to discovering nature and the best restaurants around rather than spending time on hotel. Oh yeah and the one thing that really like about him is he's really flexible person, he can work anywhere to be whatever he wants. His skills for survive just really made me speechless. There's people are amazing, I wish I could met more people like that cause for me, meeting good people in this world are priceless. I'll never stop travelling cause traveling made f me feel good about myself and taught me alot especially about life, that beautiful so we have to be thankful
