note:
well, this solo traveling is fun and challenging but still we have to be careful, especially for you girls. My friend enjoyed her trip a lot but sometimes she had bad moment such as when a girl came to her when she had lunch in local resto, offering her to be a ‘companion’ for foreigner.. wow, this is something to watch out there girl!!!
