A strange trip
If you go to 296 miles NE from Columbus, Ohio, you are going to get a beautiful place. This place is known as Niagara Falls. Niagara fall is located a border of America and Canada. It is huge movable water, and the water makes a big waterfall. It is not stagnant water like lakes, sea; oceans.It is look like a river. When the water comes from the top fall down to the bottom, it makes a white pleasant fume. After I introduce this place, let me tell you what went on at that time.
It was summer time. I packed and loaded our luggages at the top my car. My family and my family members started our trip from Columbus, Ohio around 12:00 pm .I took 71N and drove the exact speed limit towards Canada. After 5:00 hours drive we took a rest at a park and ate our packed traditional food .the name the food is’ enjera bedoro watt’ (enjera means a flat bread and doro wat means chicken stew.) 15 minutes later we started our journey. After driving 5 hours, I saw beautiful green forests and grape farms beside the road.
Now the time is 8:45 pm and the GPS said 10miles left reach to Canada. After 7 minute drive I saw a lot of cars stopped and the cars moved slowly turn by turn. It was American’s and Canadian’s boarder check point.
After waiting for several minutes, an old women officer said loudly I.D.please.I gave her 8 I.D.s...She stared at me and said how many people are there inside the car?’
I say 8 mom.2 men, 2 women 1 girl, 1 boy and 2 infants.
She said ‘open the window ‘
I did open. Then she shouted at me and she said ‘my goodness!’Two infant and two kids without car seats and 8 people in a small car? Pull over your car and park at spot # 11
I parked and waited for her .Ten minutes later she came with another a women officer and took me into an empty room .And the women asked me that ‘where are you going now’?
Visit Canada
How long have you been America?
Seven years
She said okay and out the room .after five minutes she came back again. This is a big crime I will not send a jail because of these family but this is your ticket and then she said go.
I was never scared like this before in my life. After being in jail for one hour I crossed to Niagara city with $ 150 dollar fine ticket. We reached our reserved hotel around 10:10.The next morning we went to water fall and we rode a boat and we visited the Niagara fall. We then took a bus and visited historical places. We had a lot of fun. Even if I were our plan, still I didn’t feel good. I had a lot of trip and fun around the world, but I never got a trouble like this before. That’s why I said unpleasant trip.


Belay,
ReplyDeleteTHis is good story. I want to know what happened next. YOu need a conclusion. You seem to stop in the middle of it. Also, you need to comment on other students' blogs.
Belay,
ReplyDeleteIt is a good story, but I think you should emphasize the point "strange" in your writing. You talk more details about the trip but do not focus on main point of this article. So I recommend that you pay more attention on your next writing of the strange experience.
