Resolution and Snack Crackers

After a few days of waiting not-so-anxiously, we got a phone call. A young, very excited [read: hard to understand] male voice was chattering away. Luckily, I caught "saifu" [wallet] and the negotiations began. Just teasing! Much as we should have milked this, Aaron and I agreed to meet the luckless lad the next day in front of the video store.

Next day. Imagine our surprise when a 40-something salaryman rides up on his bike and seeks us out. The voice on the phone had seemed so young, so we were pretty shocked. But this guy was excitable and chattering away about the wallet, so we handed it over. Only to be happily surprised with a bag from Chateraise, a local sweets shop. After lots of "Thank you"s and "Don't mention it"s, we turned to leave when a young kid pulls up. Turns out the wallet was the kid's, and the older guy was his dad. More"thank you"s follow.

Next next day. Turns out the young wallet-loser is the younger brother of one of my students. So we had fun chatting about that. Small world!

The Chateraise bag was revealed to contain delicious snack crackers.

We are now on the lookout for further things we can exchange for free snacks.
