My glasses

Wow, I can't believe this...

Last weekend I went up the Landmark Tower with my hairdresser, Ryu. After that we went to a restaurant for dinner. And the next day I realised I'd lost my glasses. So that night I returned to the Tower and the restaurant to inquire, but they hadn't found them. So I left my contact details with the Landmark Tower security people, so that if the glasses appeared, someone would call me.

But a week passed and nobody called, so I resigned myself to the thought that I'd have to buy a new pair. I also emailed Ryu to ask him if he'd seen the glasses, but he hadn't.

Today I got a haircut and caught up with Ryu. He asked me various questions about my glasses and seemed more concerned than I was (not that I was looking forward to buying expensive new glasses, mind you).

And now, just then, I got a call from him. After finishing work, he travelled to the Landmark Tower himself, enquired with the staff, found my glasses, and is now coming all the way to my suburb to personally return them to me. The total travel time for him is at least an hour.

Can you believe that? I can't believe the level of kindness I experience in this country... I feel very lucky!!
