I just read Jason Mraz's blog (http://freshnessfactorfivethousand.blogspot.com/). His writings are great (thanks for blogging, Jason)....Anyway, when I read his article titled "That Time I almost peed my pants"...Well, that story reminded me of my own experience...
I had a kind of similar experience which happened in Melbourne. At the time I was so new with that beautiful city. So, I was not familiar yet with the surroundings. In my first week in Melbourne, I went to a shopping center in Melbourne ,but I got lost during my journey to home. I was not trying to make an excuse for the lost, but at that time I had been just few days in Melbourne..I was supposed to take bus to the east but I took one to the west. I didn't realize until the bus had gone far. So, after 30 minutes riding, I just got off in a bus stop and checked the bus routes and schedules. I found one but it won't run because its operation had passed the schedule which was 6 pm. It was summer so it was still very bright. So, I decided to walk. OMG, I was alone and scared. I was so new with the city. The road was so quiet. After half an hour walking, I wanted to pee so bad. But I couldn't find any restaurants or cafe where I could just go to use their toilets. I was in the quiet suburb. Not many people live there. Then I carried on my walks and found a public toilet next to the charity shop (Salvation Army). I was so happy because it means that I didn't need to shame myself. But, what the heck..the toilet is closed. Silly! it only operated in certain hours. It was written it opened from 8 am to 5 pm. Arrrgggggggggghhhhhhh I just wanted to scream...How come?? I would understand most shops in Australia close at 5 pm but toilet...please ....it should be open for 24 hours...So, I felt very annoyed..However I still had to pee...should I shame myself by peeing in any places..No no I wouldnt do it..so I hoped I would find eateries or any places that have toilet..I didnt want to pee on my pants. That's yuck! Then, I kept walking but I couldnt stand anymore with the bladder urges..I had to pee whatever happen..and found a kind of sport building which surrounded by trees and bushes. And it seemed no one was there..They must have had finished their activities.. So, I just didnt care anymore coz I couldnt wait till ny longer...I just went through to the bushes and squatted there to just pee under them. Whoooa..so relief... After finishing, I just got out quickly from the building..hoping there was no CCTV..or anyone peeped me while emptying my bladder..:( I kept walking...it was like 2.5 hours walking since I got off from the bus. Then, I got a tram which passed my flat and it just took 10 minutes to get
home safely. Lucky it was summer so the sun worked longer....At 9 pm, it
was still bright........................
Anyway, although I was new comer, I should memorize the most important number. Also , always bring cellular. I regretted that I didnt bring mobile, and I dint have any number to remember. .What an experience!
