One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had a credit card stolen and been used 7000 USD when I was in Cambodia.
shared hotel room with suspicious phillipino guy who describes himself as a flight attendant of phillipine airlines. and he did rob my card.

I thought I'm gonna die...

but I was stupid. I didn't watch for him at all.
though he was really weird
ex) when I was going to take some photo with him, he said "no! no! don't! I mean it's in spiritual festival period in my country now. we better not take any photo... or ghost would come up in the photo"
and I said "really!? wow I'm so sorry I didn't know that..."
who knows.
and who believes such a fool thing!

me :o) lesson learned

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach japanese and learn other languages.
