Last year I was going to travel to Asia. I was extremely excited because it was something I had been waiting for, my entire life. I had been saving money since I was five years old. Finally on my 18th birthday my parents gave me the last part of the money I needed.
I got everything in order, my insurance, my vaccinations, my passport my VISAS, everything. I had never traveled overseas before so I was a little nervous. Finally the day was finally here. I was on my way to the airport to fulfill my dream. A dream that later became a nightmare.
I got to the airport and when I was going to go through security, I realized I didn´t have my boarding pass with me. I left it on my parents´ car, so I had to call them and they made it back 10minutes before my plane took off. I thought I was going to lose my flight.
The flight to Japan was really long, but it felt eternal with the kid behind me who was kicking my seat and running up and down the airplane the entire time. Thanks to him, the plane was surprisingly annoying. 12 hours later we finally landed on Tokyo. I went to baggage claim to get my stuff and surprise surprise, my things were not there. The airline lost it and sent it to China. It would take them 2 days to get it to me.
I decided not to let that ruin my trip, so I went outside because my friend Hiroshi was going to pick me up. I waited for about three hours when he finally arrived. His car had broken down and he waited for a tow truck to help him fix it. I didn´t care, he was finally there, so we went to his house so I could get to know his whole family.
We got to his home and I greeted his family. His mom had made me a delicious dinner especially for me. I got in and I sat down in the floor in front of the table. I obviously ate everything because it was delicious. So when I finished his mom got up and served me again. I didn´t want to be rude so I ate it, and again she gave me more. This happened two more times, I was full. I couldn´t eat more. I got really embarrassed and didn´t finish my 5th plate.
Finally his mom got my plate and took it away. He showed me to my room and I asked him why his mom gave me more and more food. It turns out that if you finish everything o your plate it means you want more. That is why she wouldn´t stop giving me more food, I kept eating it.
That night I got sick because of all the food I ate. I was extremely embarrassed. I can´t believe this was the first day of my dream vacation. I was so disappointed.
