 Why do South Koreans never give up?

Life was so hard for me. So, I decided to go back to Seoul City again. I told the church shelter in charge about my desire. Lastly, the shelter authorities decided to send me back to Seoul. But they knew that I didn’t have any money. One of the lady staff gave me 5,000 Korean won, equivalent to 40 USD. She told me to take some food on my travels with these funds. I thanked her for that. The church was supposed to provide my bus ticket. So, we started at the inter-district bus terminal.

When we arrived near the Yeosu city bus terminal, I changed my mind. I asked the church officer, "Sir, is there no shelter for foreigners in Yeosu City?" He said, "Of course there is, nearly the bus terminal." I told him, "Please take me there." We went to the Yeosu Foreign Workers Shelter. The church offered to talk to the shelter in charge and leave the place after handing me over. I was welcomed by the shelter in charge.

On the next Saturday evening, four Bangladeshis came to the shelter to enjoy their Sunday off. I told my story from beginning to end. After listening to my story, Rahim discussed it with Mosharof, Shekhor, and the others, and they gave me about 20,000 Korean won, or approximately 20 USD. Anyway, at that time, that money was a huge amount for me. I appreciated their help. They enjoyed the holiday and went back to their workplace. I just passed the time by watching movies on TV and browsing the computer until the next holiday.
