Traveling abroad is like a minefield road, by all means

Traveling abroad is like a minefield road, by all means
You should check the Safe Zone first.

I think it’s probably more than 100 times if I’m talking about a dizzyingly dangerous case while traveling abroad.
I was lucky enough to survive. These days, it is called the era of overseas travel, but if you go anywhere without thinking, you may lose your life. I will serialize a dangerous situation during my overseas trip whenever I have time.
Thinking about it now makes me dizzy, but I hope everyone helps!

1. Midnight Crisis in Manila

I visited Manila in the early 1980s. The problem is that I put about $30,000 in cash in my bag, so I feel dizzy thinking about it now

At the time, the Philippines was an opposition leader during Marcos’ long-term dictatorship
I remember when Benigno Aquino was killed at Manila airport and his wife Aquino became president and just started a democratic regime.

In any case, a flight scheduled to land at Manila Airport at around 5 p.m. was delayed for 6 hours and arrived at Manila Airport at 11 p.m. Even at 11 p.m., the hot heat from the airport’s runway and asphalt hit my face. Anyway, it was a unique experience for the plane to get off in the middle of the airport and walk from there to the airport building.

The problem was that it took two hours to check-in at the airport, so it was already about 1 o’clock in the middle of the night when I came out of the airport to take a taxi after checking in. Unaware of what was going on, about 50 small children hung around the taxi stand and asked for help with their luggage, but when they refused, about 20 people continued to follow. It was strange without knowing the reason, but I was deaf, so a taxi came over there
He made a U-turn when he saw me, so I ran forward and got into the taxi quickly

As soon as I got on, I was about to close the door, but small black hands quickly came through the door of the taxi and shouted “one doll, one doll.” The taxi started after taking out several $2 bills from my pocket and giving them to me one by one.

At that time, there was no Google map or mobile phone like now, so I was going to book a hotel locally, but it became the middle of the night to get a hotel before the sun goes down.

The big black driver asked me where I was going to go and asked me to go to a medium sized hotel in downtown Manila. At that time, it was usually when a taxi driver introduced the hotel.

Anyway, I was driving along the river road on the dark night road along the tropical roadside, and strangely, when I saw a wind from the bottom of the taxi, the bottom of the taxi was big, so I just whizzed through the road below it. It wasn’t just my taxi, it was Manala’s situation at the time

I didn’t expect this, but this is the Philippines
The taxi made me realize it even more. After a long run, the taxi driver stopped the car to see if it was like a motel on the side of the road, and the hotel is there. I asked him to wait for a moment because I’ll go see the hotel, and when I went to the hotel entrance, a large Indian dress security guard in a large turban was guarding both sides of the hotel door with a long gun.

After passing through the entrance and entering the front desk, the driver guided me to an intermediate hotel where about 10 large black friends were playing poker with cigars at the entrance.
It felt like I met a bandit of 40 people with Alibaba.

Intuitively, I thought it was dangerous in the middle of the night, and I was reluctant to go in there, so I came back by taxi and asked which hotel it was, and I just asked where the best deluxe hotel was, and I said it was a Hyatt hotel, so I went there blindly.

But when I was driving in the junk taxi right before the abandoned car for a dark night, strangely, I felt that the taxi was only picking the back roads, not the main roads. Anyway, the moment the big taxi driver stopped the taxi in a dark and remote place while scuffling to go to the main road,
I thought this friend might behave badly. The problem was that I was awakened to the thought of a 007 bag with $30,000 in it

At that moment, I felt a crisis intuitively without having to wait, and I thought I should hit the player first.
I suddenly shouted out loud.

Driver, where are we？
You freeze !
Do you know who I am?
I am from Korea Central Intelligence Agency.
I am here to meet your President Akino tomorrow at the President palace.
I am a special agent, you know?
I have a gun here. Rifle, Pistol !! 빵빵빵 !!!

When I banged on the 007 bag while shouting in English, the friend was really surprised and seemed to be freezing.
Go, go, to the Hyatt !

When I’m in a crisis, when I shout words like guns and knives right away, I know that people have a frozen mentality in the moment

Anyway, the friend shuddered afterwards and dropped me off at the entrance through the main gate of the Manila Hyatt Hotel, and the moment I entered the five-star hotel, I thought I was alive!!
The fare was about 10 dollars at the time, but I think they threw me about 20 dollars. I think the hotel fare at that time was about 150,000 won in our money now

It might be a little funny to think about it now, but all of the above is true. It’s as if I was wearing a suit at the time
I think it would have worked better!
Now that I think about it, it was a reckless trip
I managed to get out of the woods like that
