arriving in sydney on his own from india, my husband, rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children. during the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. he came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. he was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport(护照). he reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
