Last school holiday, my family and I went to Japan. After a long journey lastly we arrived there safely. I was so jovial and bemused when I realized that I was in Japan. One of my father’s friends who is our compatriot helped us to find a place for us to stay. I had a little bit queer feeling about him. After 10 minutes we walked, suddenly my sister whispered at me, “You know, that man is slightly eccentric but he is a genius,”. Finally I knew the reason why I had a queer feeling toward him. I also needed to take time to latch on what he was trying to say.
