Years ago, I was traveling around Australia with two friends. At that time, both friends had to leave early because of work, so I decided to travel to the Whitsunday Islands alone.

I got on a boat. Everyone on the boat, except me, was with friends. Not wanting to talk to strangers, I decided to take photos. The back of the boat was a good place to catch the wonderful view of the sea.

I walked there and saw a metal box standing there. I put my arms on it, without knowing it was a hot barbecue (烧烤架)!

“My God, it hurts!” crying in pain, I moved my arms away at once.

Although there weren’t marks on my arms, I was in great pain. And I didn’t even have friends with me. I sat alone, trying not to cry. Finally my arms turned purple.

People on the boat saw this and came to help me. One girl offered me a special scald cream (烫伤膏) . After using it, I felt much better. I could enjoy the beauty of the Whitsundays, talk to strangers on the boat and have fun with them.

It’s not the conventional way to meet people, but it shows even burning your arms can become part of your trip, and make your trip better in the end.
