My First Experience To Be An Alone Backpacker
I like to go out to find a new place. When I was in second semester, I went to Cikarang, Bekasi alone to visit my friend. I built my strength to go there without knowing anything.
Firstly, I went to Terboyo to find Sinar Jaya bus to Bekasi. Unfortunately, there was no Sinar Jaya bus. A man in the locket told me someone who could bring me to Bekasi. I felt so happy because I could still go on with my plan. I just had to pay some money and then got on the bus.
I thought everything was alright until the bus arrived in Tegal. In Tegal bus station, the driver told me to get off from the bus because that bus was not heading to Jakarta, but Bandung. It was shocking. I felt so strange because there were so many men around me. Finally the driver brought me to catch another bus to where I wanted to go.
I tried to adapt in that new bus. People around me said that was true the bus was heading to Bekasi. I could not imagine what I felt. The bus walked so fast until in Cikampek, Bekasi. When the bus was in Cikampek subway, someone told me that the bus did not pass Cikarang, so if I wanted to go there, I had to get off in Lippo and find another bus. Fortunately, a man in the bus told me that he also had the same destination with me. I felt so happy. I could not imagine if there was not that man.
