Valentine's Day Present...
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? posted by winz at 9:28 PM 0 comments
