I attended a Scouts Club in my school when I was a college student in Taiwan. All of us were very interested in multiple outdoor activities. One day, when the sun was shinning and the wind was blowing, we decided to go camping in the mountains. However, everything was changed and I had a horrible experience at a repair shop, where I was swindled.

First of all, we were very excited to go to the camping ground. Suddenly, one of our motorcycles broke down. We thought it seems that it was bad luck in the initial stage. Then we decided to redistribute our teammates to help us move quickly. I was confused about this choice because that might cause other problems for us. However, my partners thought this choice was correct, so we separated into two teams. One team went to the camping ground first. The other teammates and I had to find a mechanic to fix the motorcycle immediately. That was a very difficult task. We were in the inconvenient wild, and it was not so easy to find a repair shop. Furthermore, it was sparsely populated because people love convenient and modern life in the cities. I have been camping there several times, and felt it was desolate and uninhabited. However, that was an important reason why we choose to camp there.

Eventually, we were fortunate to meet a stranger. He was a small truck driver, and he could help us to convoy with his car for my friend’s motorcycle. Moreover, he was a native person in Taiwan. Native people are very warmhearted and generous in giving help. This was what I thought from my first time experience, so I thought this time I may have a nice meeting, too. After that, we had many indelible experiences for each other. After that, we were lucky to find a repair shop to fix the motorcycle, but we had to wait one more day. Then we felt down because we couldn’t wait for more than one day. It was troubled timing because we couldn't wait and didn't have enough money with us.

Then, the horrible experience began. I was surprised about why there was someone taking a part of the motorcycle without our permission while we were discussing to the boss. This fact surprised and frightened us. We did not allow any workers to fix our motorcycle. The most important thing was that the price to fix the motorcycle was too expensive and not reasonable. Therefore, we tried to negotiate with the boss but failed. Moreover, the boss asked us to pay him first, but we were confused and rejected to pay. Then, the shop didn’t stop to fix it and return the motorcycle to us. That drove our anger because he made the worst condition for us without any alternative in this matter. We didn’t have enough money and didn’t think his price was fair. Therefore, we decided to leave the repair shop and went to the camping ground to meet the other people. We thought we could just leave our motorcycle in the repair shop for a while. After the camping activity, we had go back there and take our friend's motorcycle. The boss promised to keep the motorcycle in the shop for us, and wait to discuss how to fix the motorcycle.

Unfortunately, we were young and inexperienced, so we could not figure out that he was an excellent scam artist. We could not find the repair shop and our motorcycle. My friends were all so angry, but we could not do anything. I felt I was stupid. Next, we asked some people who looked like locals, and someone told us the bad news. The shop was a swindler shop, and many travelers have been deceived. It was not an honest and moral shop.

Finally, we were very dejected. It was a very terrible way to be cheated that broke our hearts. When it was beginning, we could not understand. Was the native stranger honest? He brought us to the swindle, didn't he? Besides, we didn't take any evidence such as the shop's name card or the motorcycle's receipts. I still feel we were hasty and careless. This terrible condition was imprinted on everyone’s heart. We lost the motorcycle and had a horrible experience in my innocence college life.
