I was only 12 years old when I experienced this and I can never forget this experience ever in my life. Sometimes I reflect on these thoughts at night to see if it was worth it for us to be treated that way but the truth is, it is life not everyone is going to treat us well.

I remember when I was little my mom and I set out to celebrate the burial of one of my dad's cousins. My dad couldn’t make it to the burial celebration because he was in another state at that moment working so he asked my mom to go in other to represent him, my mom knows only know few of my dad's family but she decided to go and I was the last born of the family which she took me along.
Getting there seems untrue, it looks like we were not welcome on this day and this place was Far, like a 3-4 hour journey. The few we knew greeted us in a shallow tone. Earlier before we left, my dad called my mom that the celebration was on Saturday but she should leave home on Friday, We got there late with the thought of staying overnight but looking at everything we were not welcomed, no where to sleep overnight, there were no or few hotels which where occupied already. My dad's cousins and a group of his colleagues and family already occupied the whole house and there was no little space for us to sleep in. I regret having a family like them and that was the last time We saw each other. What made this day unforgettable was that my mom and I slept in an uncompleted building this day. I regret meeting or knowing some kind of people in this life. The man and his wife knew but they acted like they did not know, till date my mom hasn’t told my dad we slept at an uncompleted building, I don’t know if he still calls this man or texts him I don’t care but this is a day I can never forget.

I was only 12 and I was thinking about the future and wealthy revenge, I was so damn pained that we were not welcomed even from a far distance like this. If my mom knew how to drive she would have driven my dad’s car and probably we would have slept in the car but no she didn’t because she is too afraid to drive a car on the express road.
I have had a lot of good Travelling experiences, my NYSC journey, family tours but most of my travelling experience is within states and not country i wish to tour round the countries and experience how beautiful life is all around the world. This has always been one of my biggest dream in life. To experience the fun of life and most especially thier foods. I love good meals. Being limited to only a countries meal sucks a lot.
