...Munich Adventure...

 

One evening I returned home after quite difficult day, poured a cup of tea, played my favorite music and… suddenly understood that I had strong fatigue with 
 numerous exasperating problems and prohibitions. The first thought that arose in my head was an airport. I didn’t waste time. A taxi was ordered. I didn’t know where I could fly, but I was sure that I was in need of it. I wanted to be in any place, but not in that town, so I decided to afford a spontaneous adventure.
When the taxi took me in the airport, I have already known what place I wanted to visit -  Germany, Munich. It was a bit of luck that a limit of activity of Shengen visa didn’t expire. I was thankful to my boss, who gave to me a month ago a serious errand to visit Berlin for special meeting. By the way it was very successful conversation in English and it made me more cocksure.
When I found yourself at the Passport control in Munich I recalled that I didn’t care about my accommodation. 
I was so tired, that any berth was a great happiness for me. I took a taxi and asked the driver to drop me off in center of the town. 

When I arrived there it was almost 5 a.m. and I was lucky to observe a wonderful dawn above huge, sleeping, foreign but extremely beautiful city. 


 I was strolling across deserted streets in search of a hotel, and suddenly saw an entrance in a civil park. But, of course, at first I saw its name – “Porthole”, it was funny and attractive simultaneously. As it was my adventure I decided to go for a walk across this park.


Porthole” was wonderful, I couldn’t believe my eyes, there were a lot of lakes with waterfalls, flamingos, parrots, flowers. I saw a bench and decided to have some rest and enjoy that miracle. And… my eyes closed by themselves.

I woke up from strange scraping sound. I quickly looked round and saw a stranger sitting near me on the same bench. He had dark sleek hair, beautiful features, and very pleasant scent. Stranger started speak German rather fluency, but I couldn’t understand him at all. He was quite loquacious and told me something with a passion. Of course it was tactlessly to interrupt him and I kept silence, but my patience was almost over. In 15 minutes he asked me something, I was waiting for this moment. I smiled grimly and started to speak Russian like revenge. I told him how I turned out in this town, about all my problems and how I want to sleep, but at the end I said him that he was very beautiful to be German. He was listening to me with a great interest and I thought that he just had good demeanour… till the moment when he started to speak Russian! I was shocked. He told me that he lives in Munich already 10 years  and owns this unusual park, for a long time he found a person who can speak  him native language and who has so kindred soul. I couldn’t believe, I liked him more and more, it was like a dream…

An alarm-clock was ringing. It was 7 a.m. – time to wake up for new difficult day. Oh no! I was extremely sad. It was just beautiful dream…
I wanted to fall asleep again and buried my head in the pillow, but something was under it. I found some paper by feeling. I got out the pillow and saw a beautiful envelope with flamingos. I couldn’t help feeling great emotion.

I opened it quickly and saw a ticket…
