Today's d 10th day i am in France and i find Toulouse really magnifique! Life here is indeed a very new and wonderful experience for me so far. I will update some of my daily routine since the 1st day i arrived in Toulouse here soon, so now lets talk about the terrible experience i had had last week in France.
It was the 4th day of my stay in toulouse that triggered fear inside my mind that i would never forget. it was the first time of my life that i was robbed! and it happend all in France..=D
It all started when the night before i went with three of my friends to Inox Electronic Music Festival at la Dune. It was like a club, many people are dancing and drinking, aroused by the music played by the two DJs, Alfojack and David Guetta! YA DAVID GUETTA! the 3rd powerful DJ in the world! Greeted by a big rouse of applaud. The event finished at 5am in the morning so we left home straight cause we had not slept for the whole night..sleepy all of us...
I took a metro back to the station nearest to my place - Bouderouge. When i arrived in Bouderouge station, it was only 6.15am, so i need to wait there till 7am for the earliest bus to come. (the bus station is outside of the metro station) So i waited inside the metro station there as it was still dark outside. I was accompagnied a girl, who was also waiting in d station.
That time, a guy appeared in the metro station and walked towards me to ask me for money. He asked my name too and my nationality. I replied no then i ignored him. He walked away without saying anything. From his look, i guessed he was an Algerian. He was smoking all the way..
IT was 6.55am so finally i picked myself up and walked out of the metro station. It was at this time that the guy reappeared in front of me again, asking me for money again. I replied no, again, i ignored him and walked away. He chased me from behind again and asked me if i could lend him my handphone cause he had no credit. I said i dun want and i walked away from him . This time i quickened my pace and i started to get nervous cause no one else was around us.
Bad luck really struck after i rejected to lend him my hp, cause the next time he did was to run after me and grab the bag that i was carrying on my back. I tried to escape and he pulled even harder my bag. I fell immediately to the floor with the bag still on my back. He approached me on the floor and tried to steal my bag away from me. I resisted and i grabbed his legs trying to make him fall down (like me). He reacted by kicking me and continuing to grab my bag. I dunno how he did it, but my bag was no longer on my back but i still had a grab on it and he grabbed it on d opposite side. WE struggled for few seconds, i was shouting and pulling my bag back and he pulled my bag in d opposite direction. HE became more and more aggressive and i realised i couldn't win the battle..i let go of my bag and ran for my life! I was shouting non stoppedly and when i ran back to d metro, i found a guy. Together we ran out of the metro and chased after the voleur( robber) . The voleur, when he saw us, ran away by leaving my bag behind. But he had already taken my handphone, my earphone and today i just realise, my playboy perfume..LOL cause it's no longer in my bag. So voila, how i sighed for relief to still have my passeport in the bag! that's d most important..i called nelson after that cause he was like me, having to wait at the station for bus to come too..and luckily, he was fine.
The handphone is just a nokia 3100 phone, so that was a huge relief for me again.
I had my another hp in my pocket..so least i could still make calls after that day till now..
A really bad experience for me and i havereally been more careful since then..not trying to be alone anymore..
