A letter from Zanzibar

Have you ever heard about 'Zanzibar' island?
Did the name remind you of anythng or nothing?
The island was once the capital of the Arab empire in East Africa, now famous for beautiful beach and exotic mood.
I took ferry boat at Dar.
And I met the korean guy and the swedish guy again. Also another korean guy.
We walked together in narrow streets in Stone town, watched beautiful sunset above Indian sea.
from left, Bbikki(always following us), japanese guy, korean guy, another korean guy, swedish guy
Then We met a japanese guy (I had met him at Lusaka, Zambia), all went to eat sea food.
A big lobster was 4000won. A big crab was 2500 won.
We ate voraciously and drank sweet sugar cane juice.
I was happy with yummy food, with being together
Next day, I went to Nungwi beach alone.
(The korean guy and the swedish guy was sleeping. They wanted to go to another beach.)
Sand is white, sea is blue.
The sea is not just blue. I cannot explain the color of sea.
Beautiful, beautiful beach.
I swam, had sun-tan.
Of course I wore bikini. haha
There was nobody knowing me.
Next day the Korean guy and swedish guy came to Nungwi beach.
"Nuna, What are you doing alone?"
"I'm swimming, why do you follow me everywhere?"
We drank beers in the beach watching stars.
Someone says, travelling alone is happy, meeting someone in travelling is the happier too.
I understand the meaning now well.
Yesterday, I arrived at Moshi to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.
(They may be swimming at Zanzibar now.)
Only 50% people succeed in climing to the peak.
I have been in upper 50% in most of times in my life.(peculiar sentence, you know the meaning)
At this time, I can't sure. But I'll try.
Expect my success or failure story at next time.
In fact I don't think failure is real failure. Anyway I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
