Beside of that, I could look people for washing my eyes. Words are said by people. As people say for refreshing their mind or getting a new experience. Several hours, my eyes directed to a foreigner. Suddenly, I just saw him as the foreigner. I believed he is a foreigner according to the characteristics of foreigner. I embittered about him. Even though, just a moment. I asked my niece for meeting the foreigner. I started to sit with three spaces of chairs beside him. Because my niece knew that I wanted to acquainted with the foreigner. My niece shiffed my body. So that, I was more and more near with him. As a person who fall in love. Whereas I just wanted to know him for improving my English skill.
