Living alone in a foreign country can be difficult. Safety is a big problem, and I must be careful and stay vigilant(*惕的)all the time.

Boston is a strange city. It may look wonderful in one area but, just a block later, you no longer feel safe. Run-down buildings, scary-looking sculpture, and suspicious robber-like people: It makes my hair stand up to walk alone after dark. Therefore, I try to go to the city during the day and only when I really have to, I had to go there today to get some Chinese food for my presentation on Chinese snacks.

Unfortunately, I missed the 5:50 train back to Andover and the next one wouldn’t come for three hours. Rich, a guy I met on the way to the station, also missed the train. He said his friends would pick him up by car and could give me a ride if I wanted. I decided to accept his offer, because I thought I would be able to get home more quickly this way.

The next thing I knew,Ｉwas on the subway to Rich’s apartment in another part of Boston. On the ride, he told me about his Scottish origins(血统)and poor family background. I knew he wasn’t the kind of “proper” guy you met in Andover. Although I trusted Rich, I didn’t go up to his apartment. Entering a stranger’s house is dangerous so I stayed outside and waited for his friends. It was a long wait and Rich came down to chat with me. I learned then that he had been a drug addict and was still a drug dealer. He showed me his parts, where he used to inject(注*)heroin.

Although he didn’t make his money legally ,I was sure he would not harm me. And indeed, Rich got me back to campus safely.
