Tourist season! The time of year when the bus empties out of scholars and fills up with beautiful ladies from neighbouring countries! One day I was lucky enough to be sitting next to one of them.
She greeted me with a big smile and politely asked in English if she could sit next to me. I smiled back and said she could. We spoke in English as that was the only common language we had. She was very adept and chatty, asking me about many things. She raised an eyebrow when she learned that I was a local and asked me to read out road signs. She asked me to read out a few of them and she got very excited when I did, her pretty face laughing and smiling with joy.
The road signs were written in my own language. I noticed she was getting very excited and she said "Do excuse me... I do not know your language but I think it is very sexy when spoken by you!". I couldn't help smiling back. Her joy was contagious! I gladly read out a few more signs and with passion! This made her place a hand on her chest and fan herself with her other hand "Oh! Oh! Wow! So sexy!"
We got to our destination and parted ways. She begged me to come see her where she was staying sometime and gave me her number. When we parted she gave me a big gesture of affection that wasn't very common in my culture and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since!
We met again the next day and she showed me a side to life I had never seen before. It was very sad that tourist season had to eventually end but we stayed in touch, becoming pen pals. To be honest, I felt like the tourist when she came into my life!
