Hence, I retraced my steps back to the T junction where I should have turned left. As shown by the red arrow, I walked straight for about 5-10 mins but there was still no sight of any bus stop. I even look out for any poles or stands that could possibly act as a bus stop but NO!! There wasn't any bus stop. Where the heck am I??!!
At this point of time, a car pulled up beside me and an elderly man asked me,"어디가요??" I was a bit surprised and replied,"Pocheon". He must have realised I am not a local and told me to get on his car. There was another elderly lady beside him whom I think should be his wife. Both of them were very quiet throughout the whole journey. Perhaps, they knew I couldn't speak Korean. How I wish I can speak Korean and conversed with them!!!
If you asked whether I was worried about getting onto a stranger's car. Hmmm...probably becos they were elderly couple so I didn't think so much at that point of time. I do not like to trouble people and thought of requesting the uncle to drop me at the nearest bus stop instead of going all the way to Pocheon. On second thought, I think I better keep my mouth shut and don't try to act smart. The uncle also drive in the direction of the red arrow. As he drove on for about 3 mins, I saw a bus stop on my right! It was a simple bus stop with shelter. If this was the bus stop, it would be at least a 15 mins walk from the T-junction after I turned left!!! I might have missed the correct bus stop or I could have taken the wrong direction. I might not encountered such situation if I have read the bus schedule on the brochure. Whatever it was, I thank god for sending me this kind elderly couple to my rescue!!
