Losing Wallet in Japan

Losing Wallet in Japan

This will be the last time I'd ever lose a wallet ever again. It was awkward. Like, very awkward. I wish I was informed that this would be the situation when claiming the wallet. So basically, the last time I saw my wallet was when I paid for the screen protector for my phone in GEO. Then I was walking my way to Belc, a supermarket, then I didn't find what I was looking for so I then went to a different one.


I actually didn't find what I was looking for in the other supermarket that I went to either  but I decided to buy other things instead and then when it's time for me to check-out, couldn't find the wallet. I sort of panicked. I then asked the check-out lady to set aside my stuff and I'll just look for my wallet. I did. I went back to the path I crossed and didn't find it. I then for some reason thought of going back from that supermarket, to Belc, then to GEO. At this point I only had 2% battery left. I called the Police. Then they asked for all the details I can give about the wallet, put me on hold. Whilst on hold, I went to Belc and asked whether they found it but nah. They actually showed me a wallet but wasn't my wallet. The lady there was actually very nice. She tried to really help me find my wallet but then I needed to move-on. The lady asked for my number and promised to call me whenever they find it. I went to GEO but then the same thing. The police was then on the line once again, said they found my wallet. And I was like, whoah. That fast? They then tried to confirm and asked me again what I remember is inside my wallet. I stated everything again. Awkward moment again. I had to mention my health insurance, graduation picture, baby picture (weird), picture with my cousin, some point cards, appointment cards, membership cards, and ATM cards. Then my address and if there's something in my wallet that has that and all that stuff. At this point I only had 1% of battery left and I warned the officer that my battery is gonna die off soon so yeah she was so kind and asked me what time is it okay for her to call back and I said10 minutes after. My battery died. So yeah after that talk, I realized that 10 minutes is not even enough for me to return to the apartment and so yeah I rushed home, charged the phone, ate a chocolate bar for energy, and waited. At this point 30 minutes have passed. I was kind of worried that I missed the call and stuff but then I got the call. So yeah obviously I was able to retrieve the wallet and stuff and everyone was helpful. They told me to be careful next time. They then gave me the number of the person who found my wallet and I called her the next day and she said she's glad I found my wallet again. Ciao!

Three-leaf Clover







There are certain things that I'm very lucky about. But I'm not gonna talk about it all. One is that when all these things happened, is that I am in Japan. Because hey, life is probably too short for second chances. This is in chronological order by the way. Not that it really matters. 









First, when I finished shopping for goodies, I returned to my room and spent like a couple minutes wondering nothings when it hit me. There's something missing. Then I looked for it. Where is my wallet? I was then certain that it was not with me and I was definitely dead. Cash cards, credit cards, and some cash. But most of all! My PRC license which in no way I can replace so soon now that I am away from my mother land. I remember leaving it in my bike basket and since I was that unlucky (oh not really) I even parked it in front of the mansion where it's kinda public because I would be getting out again soon. Sweet! I then hurried down and than goodness! It was still there. 









Second, this happened on the same day by the way. I went to the train station's shopping place to get more stuff and parked my bike at its proper parking place and when I was checking some stuff, I heard something fell. Then mothereffer, I realized I don't have my key. I have a spare key at home which lessens any worries of my key losing but then I was like, if I lose this, I have just one more left and no spare! Which sucks. Anyways, I know I looked crazy looking everywhere like under everything and making rounds probably at least three times before I call it a day and then just to check, I went to the parking and saw the key still in there! LOL. Stupid. 









Third and the last. I buy my e-Ticket every month because it cuts off the cost of actual buying tickets everyday into half! Almost! So I bought my ticket shortly after my last ticket expired and then on my way to work, I was able to exit Sagamihara so I know I still have it that time and I was actually careful that I placed it on its card holder and stuff and then when I was about to enter Nakayama, no more card!! Searched literally everywhere to find it but no luck in finding the thing so I was like, hopeless!! As much as I want to look for it longer, I have work to attend to so no. I reported it to authority and carried on. They said they would call whenever there's anything. Two days later, no call so I thought I'd just move on. When I was about to buy a new ticket though, the guy was like thinking hard about something and he didn't even excuse himself and left. I didn't mind though because I know that it might have something to do with my ticket and it did! Apparently, someone surrendered my ticket at Shin Yokohama and he asked me if I could pick it up and yeah I did pick it up and voila! Reunited with my ticket. I wouldn't probably panick if it's less than 3000 yen but then yeah. That's all!
