A journey has always been a fascination for every traveler. Some days ago, I along with my friends went to Cox’s Wazir during a holiday. We were four people. I and three of my friends booked a hotel and go there on the same date. After suddenly a strike took place in our Bangladesh. So, we didn’t have the opportunity to return back to home safely. Government said that after the strike ended, the traveler can return back to home safely. So, we have to wait four days to go back to the home. We hired a micro bus for our journey. So, as there was a strike all over Bangladesh, our journey was very awful. We were exhausted because the journey took 12 hours longer than usual time. One of our friend was ill because of the long journey. He was vomiting and her health was deteriorating. The journey was taken longer because the people of some area blocked the roads. So, we went to them and understand them to clear the road. After that, they cleared all the roads and then we can reach our home safely.

A journey has always been a fascination for every traveler. Some days ago, I, along with my friends, went to Cox's Bazar during a holiday. There were four of us. My three friends and I booked a hotel and went there on the same date. Suddenly, a strike took place in Bangladesh. We didn't have the opportunity to return home safely. The government said that after the strike ended, travelers could return home safely. So, we had to wait four days to go back home. We hired a microbus for our journey. Since there was a strike all over Bangladesh, our journey was very difficult. We were exhausted because the journey took 12 hours longer than usual. One of our friends was ill because of the long journey. He was vomiting, and his health was deteriorating. The journey took longer because people in some areas blocked the roads. We approached them and convinced them to clear the road. After that, they cleared all the roads, and then we could reach home safely.
