Lisko’s American Life

Lisko went to the vending machine next to him to buy a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him. Everything in Iceland has its own characteristics, even the mineral water. The bottle Lisko bought looks like an ice cube with irregular shapes. The edges and corners look unusual.

Karu looked at the water handed by the person in front of him, and licked his dry lips, "Thank you."

He drank a bottle of water non-stop, and Lisko had time to chat with him.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Karu looked at the well-meaning person in front of him, and his expression finally stopped being tense.

"I'm here to travel, Norwegian, but I lost my wallet and mobile phone, and I haven't eaten for two days. If it weren't for the floor heating in the urban area, I might freeze to death here."

Karu talked about his experience. He is a freelance singer in Norway. This time he traveled to Iceland alone, preparing to see the country of ice and fire, so as to give him inspiration for his new song. Who knows that he came back from the Golden Circle and found himself I don't know where my wallet and mobile phone fell.

In a bad mood, he slept next to the floor heater for two nights, and wanted to go to the embassy for help, but he didn't even have the travel expenses.

Yesterday's one-day playing was only enough to buy a hot dog, which made him doubt whether he could make a living as a singer. Because he didn't get enough food to replenish energy, and he was depressed, so he was weak when playing the piano. No one will tip him anymore.

Lisko could see that he was also a well-behaved boy who didn’t know much about the world. If it were someone else, he could just find a handyman who washed dishes and wash dishes, and he could earn the travel expenses in two days. I went to the embassy in another city for help. .

After thinking about it, Lisko took out his wallet, took out his own money, and counted the Icelandic krona equivalent to almost two hundred dollars.

"Lend it to you." Lisko handed him the money. He knows the temper of these rich second generations. If you give it to him directly, he will think that you are giving him alms and insulting his dignity. At that time, the favor will not be reversed. Enmity.

Karu was a little surprised. It’s not that he hasn’t asked passers-by for help these days, but in this foreign country, Iceland has the most tourists. No one will lend a helping hand to a strange passer-by. Of course, there may be good-hearted people, but he has always Not encountered.

This cannot be said to be someone else's fault. It is human nature to take precautions when people are abroad.

"Thank you, can you leave me an address? I'll return it to you when I get home." Karu's expression was very excited, and even his eyes were a little red.

"The next time we meet, you can just give it back to me." Lisko waved his hand and didn't say much. We just met by chance, and we must be cautious. Of course, the address will not be kept. He just got up and walked to the hotel. He ran for a day, and his legs and feet were a little sore. He went back to take a bath, and then came out to enjoy the night view.

After he left, Kahn stood there for a long time, watching Lisko's leaving back, as if he wanted to remember him firmly.

Lisko took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and planned to go out for a stroll. Iceland at night also has a different kind of scenery, not to mention that in this tourist attraction, if you eat hotel food for dinner, it would be too miserable, no matter how delicious it is The hotel meals can't bring the scenery of the small shops on the street.

After drying his hair, Lisko walked to the hotel lobby and was stopped by the front desk just as he was about to check the strategy.

"Sir Li?"

The front desk is a native Icelander with Nordic features. Some Nordic people look good, but most ordinary people don't fit Lisko's aesthetics so well.

"Yes," Lisko wondered why she called him.

"Today, there is a gentleman who followed you into the hotel. He entrusted us to give you this thing when you come out." The front desk quickly expressed his meaning clearly, and at the same time took out a luggage bag from under the counter.

Lisko was a little puzzled, he didn't know anyone in Iceland, how could someone give him something.

He took the suitcase with doubts, walked to the glass window of the hotel, and pulled the chain.

What was inside leaked out, a maple leaf yellow guitar with the name engraved in English, "Karoo"

Next to it is a folded toilet paper with the hotel logo on it.

Lisco opens,

"Dear well-wishers,

I don't know your name, thank you for helping me, we may not meet again in the future, but I want to repay your kindness, I only have these things in me, I leave it to you as a witness of friendship.

My home is at No. 15 Golden Lion Avenue, Oslo, Norway. If you are lucky enough to pass by here, please come to me and let me entertain you.

May God bless you with good intentions and a tender heart.

Your friend John, Karoo. "

Lisko looked at the things inside. It was a complete set of equipment for a wandering singer, including an electric speaker, a guitar, a microphone and a microphone stand, and he could go directly to sell and sing with these. However, when Lisko met Karoo, he didn't have an electric speaker and a microphone. Presumably, he didn't have the money to pay the electricity bill of the roadside store, so he didn't use it.

Lisko's current emotions are a bit hard to express. It was just his own kindness for a while, and he received such feedback. This kind of beautiful feeling makes people feel warm. If all the helping hands in the world can be thanked by people, then willing There must be many more groups helping people.

Lisko picked up the maple-leaf-yellow guitar. After some research, he could easily see that the guitar was worth a lot. The unique logo of Santa Cruz was on the guitar. This brand has a two-hundred-year Aiming for better tone balance and tone, it is the favorite of many audiophiles and local tyrants.

At this time, Lisko also knew that Karoo's family was probably well-off. He put everything in his bag, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't played his favorite music for a long time.

As soon as he got excited, he walked out of the hotel with his bag, planning to find a place to be a wandering singer as well. In this city at the end of the world that no one knew, he felt more open than ever.

Lisko, who wanted to experience life, walked to the square in front of the Reykjavik Art Museum according to the information he inquired. He heard that there are many artists performing on the street, including street magicians, street graffiti artists, street bands and so on.

Iceland is a country with a strong artistic atmosphere. On the urban houses here, almost every household has unique graffiti, including a girl caught by a devil, flying ancient mythical animals, and some paintings of modern humanistic stories. .

After Lisko came to the square, there are already many people walking around here. Some of them are local residents of Iceland who come here to enjoy performances after work and rest. There are tourists, musicians and artists who come here admiringly.
