Unfortunate Travel Stories: Escaping Super Typhoon Sulla, Earthquake in Japan, and More

A friend flew to South Korea for business a few hours before Super Typhoon Sulla hit Hong Kong. Fortunately, he escaped the storm. Unexpectedly, on the day he returned to Hong Kong, he was hit by a black rainstorm that had not been seen in a century. He laughed and said that he could not escape the disaster.

When traveling, you are most afraid of encountering such unexpected events, which will cause trouble.

One year, my eldest mother-in-law and her sister took my mother to Kyushu, Japan for her birthday, and they stayed at Kurokawa Onsen. However, they encountered an earthquake. Fortunately, they had left half a day early, otherwise the roads would have been blocked. When they arrived in Fukuoka, aftershocks continued, and the two sisters could not sleep at night. On the contrary, the old lady who had experienced the Tangshan earthquake was soundly asleep.

Another friend just traveled to Japan with his girlfriend a few days ago. Today, he told me that the airline delayed takeoff for no reason on the day of departure. It was already very late when we arrived in Japan. At Osaka Airport, my girlfriend’s suitcase was similar to that of the passengers on the same plane. Taken by mistake. After many twists and turns, we found each other. Fortunately, we were both from Hong Kong and everyone made it clear. So we crossed Osaka City in the middle of the night to transfer our luggage. Then, when we were taking the train back to the hotel, we sat opposite a drunk man who was vomiting violently, and his stomach was full of filth. On the suitcase I had just retrieved, I ended up spending the middle of the night cleaning the suitcase in the hotel. Not to mention the trivial matters during the trip, when I went to the airport to return the car, I paid in the parking lot, but the car was still locked and could not be driven out, so I asked a local friend for help, but the return time was delayed. Fortunately, The car rental company was reasonable and there was no penalty for asking about the situation. I originally thought that the crime was over here, but when I arrived at the airport, I learned that the flight had been canceled due to “Sura” hitting Hong Kong, and I had to stay in Osaka to wait for news.

“Do you think my trip this time was bad?” he said to me after returning to Hong Kong.

I said that this is probably the best thing to do, and good things will come one after another in the future. For example, a month later, his girlfriend came to tell him that he was pregnant with a child – “Don’t scare me!” he yelled on the other end of the phone. .
