What a journey!

After I spent my holiday in Medan, I had to go home. There were a lot of transportation to go home, such as airplane, bus and ship. I thought bus was the cheapest one and easy to get. I went to bus agent and bought a ticket to Aceh. It was 5.00pm and the bus would leave at 9 00 pm. Four hours? Such along time! Huh!

I bought some food and minerals. I had dinner at 8.00pm. I got into the bus at 845pm. The bus left just in time. The bus started to run. Ouugg! I felt tired and got sleep.

Suddenly the bus was stopped. I heard gun fired. The driver said,”gun fired!”. Everybody was scare. Some of passengers got out and tried to find a place to hide. No place to hide, only rice field drain. They got in that place. After 15 minutes, we didn’t hear any gun fire. Then the driver said, “it’s Ok now, you could get in”. Some of passengers got into the bus. Thirty minutes later, the bus started to continue the journey.
Huh! What a journey!
