Interesting Encounters

Monday, June 8th, 2009. Filed under: Life Stories

As I write this, a famous Russian novelist, Fydor Dostoyevsky once said, “We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.” That was very true today.

Going out for a walk seemed to be a very good idea especially on a nice weather like today.*oink* As I walked down Queen Street in Auckland City. I always had this problem of pressing the walk sign for obvious reasons (hmmm.. maybe oneday they can will add a walk button for pig heights). *oink* Well, I was very fortunate to have met a very pretty Spanish lady, Charo, who kindly carried me to cross the street. *oink**oink*I liked being carried but I was really embarrassed. Not only because a pretty lady is carrying me but my stomach started grumbling. I realized I had not eaten yet. *oink* She heard my pink tummy grumble for food. My pink cheeks turned red out of embarrassment. *oink* Well, she was so kind and treated me for a nice meal at Burger King. Unfortunately, I have certain diet restrictions and could only eat vegetables. I will tell you that in another story. *oink* However, I had my first taste of soft drink called Coke. It was *oinkalicious*! I like it. Charo is from on of the Spanish cities called Gijon. It is a coastal industrial city and a municipality in the autonomous community of Asturias in Spain. I learned that is was an important regional Roman City. I would visit it oneday. Charo is studying languages in the Auckland University which ranks top 45 in the Universities around the world. Cool, huh? Well, I had a good lunch with and she helped visit one of the popular spots in Auckland called the Viaduct. I love the smell of the sea! I posted some pictures of me and Charo. I hope I see her again. *oink*
