Mv Guitar in NYC: It Amuses Me and Makes Me Laugh Dongkyun Nam

People have a lot of experiences in their lives. Indeed, I have a lot of experiences in my life. One of my experiences is funny and embarrassing at the same time.

One day, I was going somewhere to perform with my guitar. I had to take the subway. When I got on the train, I leaned my guitar against the wall, because it was too heavy to carry. Then, I coincidentally saw my friends on the train. We hadn't seen each other for some time, so we talked about things that had happened to us ever since. We really had a great time.

At that time, I didn't know that something was going to happen to me. When I left the subway, I realized that I had forgotten my guitar in the train. I decided to take a taxi to catch the train and get my guitar. It was my favorite guitar and I didn't have time to borrow a guitar for the performance. I told the driver to go to the next stop before the train got there. When I arrived, the train was leaving the station. I really needed to catch this train and I knew the distance from station to station was long, so I could try to get to the next station before the train arrived. I took another taxi to go to the next stop. The train was there when I arrived, but the door closed just at that moment. Then, I thought I had better go to the last stop. It could be possible to get to the last stop before the train arrived. So, I took a taxi again. I asked the driver to hurry. After I told him my story, he said "It would be impossible to get there before the train arrives to the last stop. We are going to get into traffic jam in the city." ■ However, I knew that train was often not on time. It would be possible to get to the stop before the train arrived. Finally, I got there and went downstairs into the station. It was very quiet. Some people were waiting for the train. I felt I had missed the train again, but I decided to wait for the next train. Five minutes later, the train arrived. It was the train I needed! My heart was beating and my legs were trembling. I smiled when I walked into the train and saw my guitar. I had gotten to the last stop before the train had arrived. I was happy even though I had spent almost $150 and wasted time to get to this train.

This experience was terrible. But, when I think about it now, it makes me laugh. If I hadn't recovered my guitar, it would have been sad.
