What a find.
... to do it but were too scared. Then we got talking to a Cambodian girl who was sitting the other side of me. She couldn't speak any English but was saying to the two boys how much she wanted to try roller skating but was also scared because she had never done it before.
I can't skate. I can't even walk in a straight line. The last time I Roller Skated was when I was about 9 or 10 and had a Roller Skating birthday party. I got far too ...
Primer tast de platja
