There are many things in this world that one can't easily explain. Sometimes,
those strange events occur in one's life: it forces me to think someone's
life is connected to the other. I have been attracted by Santorini for
this reason When I was child, I used see the same dream over and over again.
Three men were chasing me in the tiny street where there were many shops.
I was running to escape from them, but came to the end of the street where
I found a wall with three doors. I had to choose one. I believe that I
opened the one on the left. Then, all of the sudden, I was standing on
the edge of stone castle which was standing in the ocean. As there was
only small pathway to escape on the edge of that castle, I walked carefully.
But at the end, I fell straight into the ocean. I saw an island in far
distance. I was swimming very hard as I was trying to reach to the beach
of this island. After arriving on the beach, I walked to the opposite side
of the island. This was fully strange place to me. I have never been to
this place. As I was a child, I did not know which county I was. There
were many tiny and winding streets and steep stairs. Everything was painted
in white. As I walked around, I came to the post office. And the next seconds,
when I stepped on the edge of caldera, I fell straight into the ocean.
I used to wake up at this point. Since then, several years were passed, and I found out there was a county
called Greece and the island I saw in my dream looked very much like this
island called Santorini. What a strange things happen in one's life. Since
then, I visited Santorini many times, but I haven't found the same post
office or the caldera from where I fell into the ocean. Greeks are very talented to entertain tourists with interesting stories.
But whenever I tell them this story, it seems my story impresses them even
more.
