There are many times when I had to rely on someone I didn't know well, but today I would like to talk about a time when I really depended on someone I didn't know well. I visited Palanku 6 months ago, but I didn't know about that place very much. So I went to the bus with my cousins, and we went early morning at that time. So we didn't know about the path which goes to Palanku. So I decided to ask a driver and conductor how to go there, where to arrive there, and where to live there. So I didn't know about that conductor man also, the person who helped us. So we decided to ask them because we really didn't know about the area. And we didn't want to waste our time to find any other places. So it was a little bit exciting and also it's good for our knowledge.
