During my trip in the US, I encountered a lot of things. Sight-seeing, visiting famous universities and colleges, eating delicious( or sometimes too salty) food, shopping... But the thing that I enjoyed most and still enjoy was going to the bookstore.
As we were flying across the pacific to the west coast the first thought that come to my mind was, "At last, to the Barnes and Nobles Bookstore!!!". But to my dissapointment, the thought soon changed to, "Maybe we may have time to go to the school-bookstore.". As our tour-bus sped past every 'Barnes and Noble' I saw, my expectation about the vast world of books started to dissapear. Only the incomplete collection of the universities were to greet and turn me down.
But as they say that 'A Day will Come for Every Person', a chance came to me to explore the wide and numerous collection of books in one place. As I steeped into the place that I was longing to go, a kind of pause in time came to me. It was like reopening a memory, the numerous shelves that were containing books were like a place I wandered in my dreams...
Satisfies by all of the books I bought and looked at, to leave was like and order to ban me away from some place. Will I ever have another chance to come again to this place I enjoyed most? Will I have the pleasure to look and enjoy the books I always loved to enjoy? As I walked out of the store, the last foorstep seemed so hard to make. But there was nothing I could do about it.
The feeling that was wandering inside my body, the missing of a wide collection of books, was bothering me. Though a thought in the back of my mind relaxed me, that I will come again to the place I enjoyed and found happiness in my youth.
