Some time ago, my mother and I traveled to Surabaya to visit my sister. We went there
by train.
On the train, two young men in their early 20s sat in front of us. They were not well-built
and noisy. They were laughing loudly and obviously enjoying themselves. I took an instant
dislike to them.
As we sped through the suburbs, I kept an eye on them as they joked around, with an
occasional glance in our direction. Actually I felt annoyed. When one of them got off, I
relaxed a little.
When we eventually pulled into our station, the man was obviously alighting too. As
I struggled towards him with my luggage, he asked me whether I needed some help.
Then, he carried the heavier suitcase up the station steps for us. We were pleasantly
surprised and very grateful. I didn’t think that the man who seemed harsh was helpful.

Last week my family and I went to Bali. It was my first time there. We stayed at a hotel
in a 2-bedroom suite.

5
 The first day, we walked over to a shopping center. We wanted to check out prices at
restaurants because the hotel prices seemed outrageously high. Every restaurant was
offering 60% discounts on food (not drinks), so eating was much more affordable than
imagined.
Then, we met my father’s friend. He funds an orphanage of 20 children from his own
pockets. We met the children and gave them some donations. We also went to the children’s
school and handed out school supplies to them.
The next day was our first venture into Kuta. We walked on the beach. We were
immediately surrounded by very pushy hawkers. The best things though were the views of
the sunset, ocean and Kuta beach from the terrace eating area. We shopped around the area
for a couple hours. We were asked to fill out “tourism” surveys by people on the streets.
