"Only in Japan"
After I got back from my trip, this is the first conversation my wife and I had.
Me: I'm home!
Wife: Welcome back! I missed you so much!!! How was the flight back?
Me: Fine, a smooth flight with no turbulence. I watch a movie, and slept the rest of the flight.
Wife: That's good. Anyway, you won't believe it, but I lost my train pass on Friday! And, I just bought it...so it is about 30,000yen. I was really shocked and miserable.
Me: Really?! Didn't you say the other day "I have never lost anything-my wallet, cell phone, train pass..." the other day?! You should have knocked on wood!! Did you also lose your Subway card?! (FYI, recently my wife and I are hooked on Subway-a franchise sandwich shop-sandwiches. And I knew that she credited 20,000yen to that card just before the New Year.)
Wife: No!! I just lost the train pass!! It must have fallen out of my pocket or something.
Me: Ahhhhhh...That's a shame....... :(
Wife: But!!! I was lucky!! Cause on Sunday, a train officer called me and said "Are you Mrs. Gross? YES. Is your address XXX? YES. Are you XXX years old? YES...Well, I have some good news for you. Someone picked up your train pass and we have it now at that station. Please come by the office at the station at your earliest convenience and pick it up."
Me: Unbelievable!! Only in Japan!! You are a luck girl!!
Wife: I know!!! Because I am married to you! :)
