People met on my backpacking(235) - If no idiot, put it in words

<in episode 234>

..

14. Boracay, Philippines - (A little island. It contained native settlements, woods and hills, bat caves, and kilometer-long white sand beaches. I liked one day on the bicycle and another on the off-road motorcycle. The road-off motorbike could go freely between sand, gravel, jungle tiny roads, and uneven slopes. The inhabitants, particularly the youngsters, were entertaining. Yes, the memories of giving them a ride because they couldn't resist the joke of refusing to move unless they gave them a ride. The problem occurred when I returned the motorbike. The owner lied to me about his motorcycle being broken, which I proved wrong and ended it up.)

15. In Pattaya, Thailand - (I was with my wife for breakfast at the Pattaya Hotel. An elderly Asian couple sat across the table, eating. He was Chinese. He didn't speak English. Instead, he communicated nearly entirely through Google Interpreter. He lived in Shanghai and claimed he was now following his lifelong goal of backpacking with his wife. He spent one month and five days in Indonesia before traveling to Thailand via Malaysia. He taught me that even if he couldn't speak a single word of English, he could if he put in the effort.)

.

16. In Izmir, Turkey - (I was waiting for a bus with my wife at a bus stop near my hotel. A young man in his late twenties approached me and spoke English. He promised to show me how to safely ride the bus here. I suspected him to be odd. After a time, he asked to see my passport. I stared at him with hesitation and replied, "You may show me your ID first, and I'll show you my passport as well. "What do you think?" He vanished without saying much.)

.

17. In Seuss, Tunisia - (Sus has various attractions, including historical places. At midday, I went into a little eatery on the side of the road. There were maybe five or six local consumers and owners. They all stared at me carefully. The owner asked about my nationality, so I replied right away. He asked me to explain the link between Korea and America. I said I knew little about the USA and was uninterested, so I had nothing to say. As soon as I finished speaking, he extended his finger and pretended to slit his throat. He despised Americans.)

.

18. Mexico City, Mexico - (There were several street sellers in front of a church in Mexico City. The watermelon looked delicious. He said 5 pesos for one piece. I simply happened to have no change, so I handed him 100 pesos and ate the watermelon. I requested a change after eating the watermelon. He says he never received 100 pesos from me. He lied to me while showing me his pocket. I snapped a photo of him and his business. So I told him. I'll call the cops. Then the individual next to me spoke to him in the native tongue. The person growled and returned my change.) -<to be continued>
