What a frightening experience!

Last summer, my sister and I went to Shenzhen for a holiday. In the day, we went shopping. We were so pleased with buying things that we forgot the time. "Wow, it is already 8 pm.!" I exclaimed. We were so astonished that we had forgotten our dinner. Then we went to have dinner in a restaurant until 11 pm..

In the street outside the shopping centre, we found nobody. We were frightened and just wanted to return to our hotel as soon as possible. However, we got lost. We didn't know the correct way back to our hotel. At that time, we only wanted to ask someone for help! Luckily, there was a man standing in front of us and asked: "Do you want to see something?" We were surprised. We didn't know who the man was and didn't know what he could do to us. We wanted to leave quickly. The man opened his coat and inside he wore no clothes! My sister was terribly scared but I was able to remain silent. The man was naked! Fortunately, some gong an were on beat and we were sent back to our hotel. After that, my sister and I didn't go out at night all though the holiday.
