Coca-Cola World

Coca- Cola World in Atlanta, GA.

All the coca-cola products were for free, if you pay 10 dollars for the entry.

Wow.

I think i should write a story about a man I met in Alabama.

It was in Natural Bridge,in Alabama. I entered a cabin where the entry tickets, T-shirts, postcards are sold. The Natural Bridge must be the biggest tourist attraction in the entire country. I saw only 5 people while I spent 2hours day. It was a hot day, by the way.

An old man, about 75 years old, was stunned when he encountered me. I don’t think he has seen anyone from Asia visiting this small tourist attraction. An Asian with big Afro that wears tight pants and blue bike helmet.

“Where are you form,sir?” “From Korea”

He was glad. “Oh, I was there in 1950”
1950 is the year when the Korean War started. He was sent as a private in the US Army. “It took 12 days to get to Japan by ship. I was very frightened. I asked an officer what happened to the unit that was sent to the battle field before he came. He said “they are all gone”. But I was lucky. When my unit reached Busan, the allies started the Incheon landing” I spent 10 months in Korea, served 4 more years in the army and got out.”

He gave me 5 postcards for free. The postcards were pictures of the natural bridge, collection of some of the beauties of Alabama and the “Graceland”, the resident of Elvis Presely.

“You can have them. But please send me one of the postcard back to me whenyou arrive New York City. If I get the postcard, I’ll know that you get there safely and It’ll make me happy.”

Maybe my trip is not useless.
