Walking through the less crowded streets of Seoul at the early evening time carrying around her entire luggage for almost half a day was definitely not on Sakshi's bucket list for Korea. But that was what exactly the 21 year old girl was doing right now. Her flight from India had landed that morning 8 am and it was currently 3 pm and she still couldn't find a place to stay as the person who had agreed to arrange a apartment for the said girl had tricked her into paying him but didn't provide her with the accomodation. And he had given false details and taken advantage of Sakshi's limitations towards the language. As though she could read and somewhat right Korean she couldn't speak or understand the language. She had tried finding other people but most either didn't understand Sakshi and were hesitating and other just like the first one tried to scam her . And she was extremely tired since as she was busy trying to find a place to stay she hadn't had neither her breakfast nor her lunch. And therefore was really hungry. But she continued walking until she came across a man who was also walking around with a luggage but much lighter than hers and unlike her he looked like a native. And she had some sort of hope left in her heart so for the nth time since morning she approached yet another person. And in an attempt to get the person's attention screamed,

Sak: EXCUSE ME SIR!!!!

??: (Pointing towards himself, until Sakshi noded)... Ne ?

Sak: um u speak English?

??: Me ya I do speak English. Do u need any help.

Sak: phew finally someone who speak proper English.

??: Looks like u had a tough day.

Sak: ya... And can you maybe help me find a place to stay. Like an apartment.

??: Um did u just move here today or are just an traveller with a slightly heavier luggage.

Sak: I just moved here

??: Then didn't you make any arrangements for your accommodation ?

Sak: I did actually but the person scammed me , took my money and never contacted me again and gave me wrong details . And some others I tried either were hesitant to give out a house or apartment for a foreigner who don't even know the language properly. And others they again tried to scam me taking advantage of the facts that I don't know Korean and how things are done here.

??: Oh I'm sry to hear tht. Um I do know an apartment which is currently available but the price maybe a lil high.

Sak: price isn't tht big of an issue unless they are too crazy.

??: In tht case come with me I'm heading that way itself.

Sak: ok but may i know your name ?

??: Um Just call me Kim for now.

Sak: ok arey bagvan dua hei yeh bhi muje fasaneka koshish na kare   (trans: Oh god I just hope he too don't end up trying to trick me )

??: Huh wht did u say ?

Sak: nothing was just talking to my self .

??: Ok then come on

With tht we started walking until Sakshi's stomach started growling again.

??: Ya know you stomach sounds really angry we should feed it come on ik a really good restaurant , I'll take you come on.
