Journey to the West
St Stephen's College Preparatory School, Lam, Ricky - 11
H
ello. I am Ricky. I live in NYC with my family. Let’s recall what happened.
It was five o’clock, because the alarm on my phone rang as usual. Then I realized I wasn’t in my
bed. I widen my eyes and yelled of terror as I wasn’t in my cozy bedroom. Then I fainted. In the
end, I remembered I was on a plane without my family.
(Now)
I was just glad the plane landed, since I got airsick. In Osaka, it was piercing cold, although I could barely
find any snow. Even worse, I found no hotel reservation documents. What I got were sandwiches, and a
total of ¥143,600 in my bag. I walked into the streets of Osaka. I felt like this place was the most awesome.
I walked past some phone shops at first, but a few steps later, I found a camera shop. I decided to get one
camera since it might do well in my. After snapping around the wonderful streets of Osaka, I went in to
cloth shops and bought beautiful clothes.
I got a room to stay in. However I failed to sleep. I stayed awake in midnight, so I searched for some places
to go online. Soon, I found a place called Nara, and deer were seen everywhere. The next morning, I set off
to Nara by train right when the time of sunrise.
The sun rose, like a golden football; the fields were pure green. There was a rain and sunlight, so I saw a
colourful rainbow; The Sea blended into the pleasant blue sky. Sadly, the perfect trip ended fast. I left the
train and smelt the fresh air and the smell of fresh grass. Nara was a better than Hong Kong, where my
friend Ryan and Adrian lived. After I left, I hiked far away until the ground became rockier and bumpier. I
wanted to turn back without seeing the deer. My brain told me to step in further, and then I would see a
deer. I was exhausted when I reached the top of the hill. All of a sudden, something nudged me. I was
surprised and turned around. It was actually a deer! I fed it some food so the cub motioned me to follow it,
later; the cub took me to a place where a horde of deer stood wandering around. Quickly, I took out my
camera took selfies with these pretty looking deer. Wow! I couldn’t control myself! I took a sandwich out of
my bag and fed these deer. After the fun I had, I had to leave for lunch. However, the cub kept on
following me. To be sure it wasn’t following me all the time; I threw a sandwich and ran away instantly.
These streets were extremely quiet. Before lunch, I wanted to get some souvenirs before I left this place, so I
walked into a Nara souvenir shop. In the shop, there were different kinds of souvenirs. The souvenirs I got
were a key chain with a picture of a deer in it.
This time, I was really starved. I bolted down some streets and reached a ramen shop. I was totally out of
energy, thus I ordered an Udon and hot coffee. The hot coffee was very special. The coffee was special since
there was a picture of a deer drawn on it. After the delicious meal, I left the restaurant. When I crossed the
road to the lower part of the hill, snowflakes fell down! Again, I took my camera out and took selfies.
The snow didn’t show any sign of stopping, so I went to the lower park. The deer were less active since
they knew it was snowing, so they always stayed under the trees or the shades. I walked to them and fed
those sandwiches so these deer liked me a lot. They played fetch with me using a sandwich. Just as I was
about to play the last fetch game and switch to another game. Suddenly a wolf chased me! I yelled
“Adrian!!!!” and ran. My friend Ryan and Adrian was actually walking behind me. Adrian greeted me in a
cool way. ”I can’t kill a cub with a sandwich, idiot!!” I yelled. ”So let me kill it.” Adrian said. Then the cub
which was dashing to our direction got tackled by Adrian and died. “So, can you stay with me?” I asked
Ryan “Yes!” said Adrian. On the trip, the fields were gold and the sun was a fireball. It was different from
the trip to Nara.
