I got a great Valentine's Day present from a gal whom I dunno today...
nope, not chocolates...
I paid for my dinner in Kawasaki with a 10,000 yen note, and got back 9,000 yen notes plus a few coins, the notes i tucked temporarily into my hip pocket which i soon forgot about.
i finished up my dinner, took the train, arrived at kosugi eki, and while walking to the shiminkan for my jap volunteer class, a gal tapped my shoulder and asked me if i dropped some money, while pushing the 9,000 yen into my hand.. i immediately felt for them in my pocket, but obviously, didnt find them there.
even before i finished saying arigatou gozaimasu, she smiled and turned and left. i was left stunned. on one hand, i was touched by a stranger's kindness - her kindness. i didnt know where i dropped the money, and she could have followed me for some time to catch up with me to return. elsewhere probably it would be finder's keepers.
on the other hand, i totally didnt know where i could have dropped it. the feeling of dread or disappointment if i had found out that i had dropped my money somewhere and not able to recover overwhelmed me, even though i have the money in my hands.
anyway i am just glad that i have met a nice stranger today, whom i have not had the chance to thank properly. thank you, whoever you are....
good present eh?
