2017-03-21 "Why were you traveling such a remote place? " [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

The communication cost was free of charge because of free Wifi of the hotel. So she didn't have to take care of duration of call either.

To begin with, they might not have the concept of "international call".

-----

"When I was young, "

I visited a underpopulated village at a developing-country, telephones didn't become common,

the place where there was a telephone was only the post office in the village,

I asked them to use the telephone in the local language,

I waited in about for an hour,

I shouted at the operator "Tokyo Operator Please!!" again and again,

I told the next operator my call number of my country house.

I could talk to my parents,finally.

-----

However, if I talk about this, I will get a blank stare,

"Why were you traveling such a remote place? "

or

"Why were you calling parents' house so often? "

They bound to ask me the above.
