To the backpacker with the spare sweater · Pokhara, March 2015

地点与时间

• Lakeside Backpackers Hostel · Pokhara · Nepal 2015 dorm bunk by the window

当年的 TA

A tall backpacker who shared my dorm for two nights, late twenties maybe, with a soft European accent. When I stumbled in off the night bus with a fever and nothing warm to wear, you lent me a sweater and, the next morning, walked me through the rain to the clinic and waited until I was seen.

当年的我

The shivering girl in the borrowed sweater, travelling alone with a green rucksack and a very bad cold.

我为什么写这封信

道谢 · 只想把话带到

It was March and Pokhara was wetter and colder than anyone had warned me. I had been travelling for six weeks and had never felt so far from home. You did not ask a single question. You handed me the sweater, told me to keep it, and the next day made sure I got to a doctor. I have thought about that small kindness for more than ten years and I would like to say it properly.
