I am going to share with you the memory from my childhood which I treasure. This happened when I was about 9 years old, when my family and I were having rest in the resort called Gillingeek, which is situated on the shore of Black Sea. We used to go to cafes or shops every evening, so we usually came back home quite late. But that time we accidentally chose the wrong road and came to completely another place. I have been stumbling there for about 4 or 5 hours and when we came back to our home, we finally found the path. The sun was already rising. Despite some irritation or tiredness from this accident, we were always laughing about the situation. It was both exciting and sometimes frightening, especially to me when I was just a child. My parents and I from time to time recalled it. It is quite interesting to discuss this situation from my current perspective. Because when I was a child, it seemed to me like magic, like we teleported to some other place. And it was quite interesting to discuss it now.

We used to go to cafes or shops every evening, so we usually came back home quite late. But that time we accidentally chose the wrong road and ended up in a completely different place. I was stumbling around there for about 4 or 5 hours, and when we finally found our way back home, the sun was already rising. Despite some irritation and tiredness from this incident, we were always laughing about the situation. It was both exciting and sometimes frightening, especially for me as a child. My parents and I occasionally recalled it.
