(^6) USA (2) - PART 1
SEATTLE - SAN FRANCISCO
1 700 Kilometres – 31 Days
Washington
Seoul, South Korea - Seattle, Washington, USA
My flight from South Korea landed in Seattle, USA just as the sun
started peeking over the horizon. The early morning light was
amazing and the water and forests surrounding the city made for a
beautiful sight. The most remarkable part was arriving in Seattle
before even departing Beijing, China.
I was dead tired when I collected my luggage, hailed a taxi, and
headed to downtown Seattle. We first swung by the bike shop to drop
off the bicycle and then searched for the hostel I had booked. Later, I
discovered that my backpack - containing all my valuable items - was
left in the taxi, putting me in a flat spin, to put it mildly. While Yellow
Taxi Cabs had a lost-and-found section, I only left my details as I
could not provide a phone number, car registration number, or driver
name.
After a much-needed nap, I woke up to a pleasant surprise as my lost
bag was on my bedside table. I couldn't contain my joy and did a
little happy dance! It's worth mentioning that the taxi driver who
returned my bag was the sweetest Somali guy. We had chatted non-
stop during the ride from the airport, and I had a feeling that if
someone were to return the bag, it would be him. So, a massive
thank you to this unknown Somalian taxi driver, who restored my
faith in humanity.
