Pittsburgh - Roanoke Rapids

05/28/2005

We left Pittsburgh in the afternoon, and soon enough we found oursevles driving endlessly again on the highway. On our way to Roanoke Rapids, the hub cap of my car flew off. I did not know it until Renjie called me. Luckily, the hub cap was just the decoration part of the wheel.

We reached Roanoke Rapids at about 11.00 p.m. Upon reaching the single-storey duplex, a brick house which will be our "home" for the next three months, we were welcomed by Hon Boon and Sime. They had cooked us some chicken, which we gladly finished it. Little did we know that we were about to face the toughest chapter of our lives in no time...
