As a tourist it is not easy to have an intimate relationship with the host.
Probably the main reason is that the duration of stay is rather short.
But at Samir’s place, me and my wife, who are long term tourists after retirement, had a very special experience. All the time during our stay of three nights, we were pleasant whenever we see their smiles and we were comfortable whenever we hear their bright voices.
But we did not know these are in a sense only a prelude. At the early morning we are going to leave, we find a transliterated letter from Korean language - yes, we are Korean couple in sixties- which prays our safe and pleasant journey until our return to home. We were deeply moved by their compassion and sympathetic minds. We think it is the most beautiful gift we ever received during our journey over six months. And we suppose that we will remember that for a long long time.
