Hello~ Senga here!
Something unexpected happened at the airport in Los Angeles [LAX].
I called a taxi and had it come to the meeting point,
but I couldn’t find it at all.
Ehhh? Where is it?
Even when I looked at my phone, it said that both of us were at the meeting spot…
Now, <Let’s challenge English!>
Even though I was nervous, I called the taxi driver.
<Where is this?>
What?
Panicking, I immediately made a mistake.
<I’m sorry, I made a mistake.>
*a swift reply*
<Where are you?>
This is the right question.
Then,
<I’m at the ¥?!&:/;(¥&@“!;..,&->
I have no idea what they’re saying.
I give up.
For now, just <please wait>.
I hung up the phone and looked for 15 minutes…
I couldn’t find it at all.
I thought that I had no choice but to ask someone.
There was a man nearby wearing an airport uniform and cool sunglasses,
so I asked him.
<Excuse me? I want to go here.>
Then,
<The ?;/¥&!&@:: upper floor.>
I couldn’t really understand the beginning, but “upper floor”?
Eh? Up?
Looking closely, there was another road above us.
<thank you so much!>
Because of this, it took 40 minutes to meet up.
I felt bad for making the taxi driver wait and troubled them.
When I told them I was a Japanese tourist on vacation, they understood.
There are a lot of warm American people.
That’s part of what I love.
Well then.
