When I arrived Lyon airport, it was around 1100, I expected there was a people holding a paper or sign to let me know they were gonna pick me up to Taizé.
But, God love make joke to me, when I arrived, there was NO ONE pick me up. I searched around the gate few times and there was no one seemed like waiting for me, and I thought maybe they were late.
So I wait and wait and wait......
Half hour later, I decided to buy some food, the first thing I brought in France - Salad! :P
And I wait and wait and wait inside near the gate, there was still no body came.
2 hours later, around 1300, I stepped out the airport and keep waiting...
I was not scared at all, I just thought that maybe I could arrive Lyon smoothly and peacefully, God gave me a little trail, so I had to have faith in God!
Around 1400, I decided to call Taize community, but I didn't know how to use the phone box... Luckily a Franch man helped me. :) However, no one answer.......
Finally, I decided to use my HK phone no. to call Annie (Who arranged my trip to Taize) for help, but we could only talk for few minutes due to not enough money in my phone card....
Just then, when I was finding a value-added card for my phone in my bag, SOMEONE CAME and ASKED me: "ARE YOU GOING TO TAIZE?"
I was sooooooo excited and touched!!! I gave her a hug hardly and said : "THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"
But there was some problem of his journey to Lyon, so his arrived time delayed more than we thought.
Finally he arrived around 1530 and, in total, I waited for almost 5 hours in the Lyon airport... haha...
A girl lead us got on the car and drove us. WOW! FINALLY! GOING! TO! TAIZE!
I had not slept much and due to a long travailing time, I fell asleep in car. And after 2 hours, around 1745
ARRIVED TAIZE!!! It just like DREAMING!!!!!!!
I search Taize in Google map before I went there, when I arrived and seeing the same shot but in real,
I felt sooooooo AMAZING! :D
WOW I used 24 hours for traveling! so crazy! But everything is worth!
The first one I met in Taize is Sr. Elke, she look like an angle. :)
They welcome me in El Abiodh, with Taize tea and cookies! :D
Afterward, a girl from N'toumi (girls' living place) called Joé helped me to pick the luggage to my room! She looks so strong in my first impression! :P
And have some time to settle down, Sr. Elke told me what the most important things were, like where to take shower/ take meals/ sleep.
At 1900, first supper in N'toumi!
But still, felt soooooooooooo tired after travelling and had some jet lag, I had not join the first evening prayer. Took a shower, then went to bed around 21XX. :)
