Unexpected things can happen at the airport. Talk about a memorable incident you had at the airport.
When I was returning to Korea from a holiday to Canada, there was an
unexpected problem at the Vancouver airport.
ex> If you have an
unexpected problem, give me a call.
I had bought a lot of souvenirs and clothes from the city but I didn't think it would
push my suitcase
over the weight limit.
* over the weight limit: 무게 제한을 초과하는
ex> My books pushed my luggage
over the weight limit.
Unfortunately, I was wrong.
My
check-in baggage weighed in at a massive 38kg.
* weight in at: 무게가 ~나가다
ex> Is this your
check-in baggage?
ex> My dog
weights in at a massive 45kg.
It was 13kg over the limit and the excess baggage cost was hundreds of dollars.
There was no way I could
afford the
excess baggage charge.
ex> I can't
afford to pay for the taxi every morning.
ex> I had to pay an
excess baggage charge because my luggage was too heavy.
I thought I would have to
kiss all my purchases
goodbye.
* kiss something goodbye: ~에 작별을 고하다, 버리다
ex> We had to
kiss the project
goodbye.
I eventually
left them
with my friend in Canada and got them delivered via air mail.
* leave something with someone: ~에게 ~을 맡기다
ex> Why don't you
leave your dog
with me?
