我是替当事人lu Yan转贴，我想说如果骗钱为什么要告诉人家真名字和真实情况，一面之
词。泄路人家隐私不说，还是清华的毕业的，怎么这么没有风度。


Hey, I am the girl in the story.
Just to clarify some facts.
We, L (the author) and C (his friend) had a trip about 2 months ago, L started
it, C came along
Then I went along.
1. I paid my fair share of the expenses, so where is the cheating coming fr
om? (See Below 4)
2. Something unpleasant happened between L and me right before we got to Bo
ston, C wasn’t around. Very unpleasant for me, of course not for L. I was ver
y upset and angry, after that, he became such an unbearable sight for me, I di
dn’t look at L once, when I had to talk to him, I turned my face away. There
is no way I can enjoy the trip with him, so I decided not to come along. I wou
ld had ended the trip right there and then if I hadn’t bought airplane ticket
flying from Washington before we started the trip. I had to travel between Bo
ston, NYC and Washington all by myself, they took the rental car, so imagine a
ll the asking for directions, walking, buses, subways and frustrations, me wit
h heavy luggage in strange cities!!
3. When I met L again at NYC, he tried to talk to me, I simply walked away.
(I thought he was going to say sorry, silly me!) People that can’t treat me r
ight, I try to ignore, not out of spite or anything, just a way to protect mys
elf. Like I am trying to pretend this trip never happened, trying to delete it
from my memory. He never mentioned about owing him money, I don’t understand
why he didn’t bring it up then if he thinks I didn’t pay enough.
4. The expenses
Rental car
L and C arranged and rented the car, none of us paid anything when we picked
it up, we all left our cc and driver’s license information, we were to pay at
the destination city. It is not fixed rate and I wasn’t there when they retu
rned it, but according to L, who had experience from last year, the estimate s
hould be around 1000, maybe a little bit more, but shouldn’t be too much.
Gas
Again they paid for gas along the way, I don’t know how much it totals to, I
guess around 500?
Hotel
We shared double rooms, I slept on one bed, L and C slept on the other bed an
d a sleeping bag. ( I am very grateful to both of them for giving the bed to m
e). I paid for all the hotels,
Most by cc, 2 days by cash because they gave discount for cash. The total shou
ld be around 700 ~ 800, and I paid for some toll, not too much 20 or so. Here
is part of my cc statement.

Meals,
We basically had fast food all the way, each paid his own. We did share some m
eals at 2 or 3 china towns, the total should not exceed 100, I think?
So, L and C paid rental car, gas, shared meals, 1000+500+100=1600, so they eac
h paid about 800
I paid for hotel and toll. Around 750 and I didn’t use the car after we got t
o Boston, so I am confused how I am cheating L out of money. If I am a cheater
, I must be a dumb one!
Moreover, they still need to pay all of these (a little bit less on meals) if
I didn’t come along, so he actually saved money, I don’t see what he is comp
laining about.
As to what happened around Boston, I don’t know if it is what he referred to
as“路上三人对很多事情有不同看法自也难免” to clarify, C was totally innocent,
he wasn’t even there. It was just the two of us “有不同看法”, as to the de
tails, I leave all the writing to him, I wrote too much already!

On a personal note, though I don’t know C that well, he seems a very decent p
erson and didn’t do anything wrong. I am sorry he got involved into the unhap
piness between L and me. If he had called me the other day instead of L, I wou
ld have picked up the phone. Guess L didn’t tell him about it. We didn’t hav
e each other’s number, if I had his number, I would have called ehim at Bosto
n and worked things out.
As to L, all said, I still respect him as a fellow human being and wish him lu
ck with GIC.
To myself, it could have been a pleasant trip and some beautiful memories, som
eone just had to ruin it for me, tough luck isn’t it?!
