Bicycle

If you asking me what the most surprised thing in Japan when the first time I came, it would be the things about bicycle. There are sooo many bicyles in Japan, and most of them are mama-chari, that's what the japanese say for a bicycle with basket in front. And the most surprised thing is most of ppls are parking illegaly around the train station. I always had imagined that japanese ppls will very obey the law :P

During this 5 years, I had bought myself 3 mama-chari. The first one I left it to my host-parents in Urayasu city, as I couldn't bring it to Osaka. A new mama-chari will cheaper than the sending cost! The second one.... had dissapeared :( Yeah I had foolishly left my mama-chari unlocked and the key still in it! It just like telling ppls "come and take my mama-chari away".... And now, I have my third mama-chari.

I had lost my bike several times actually, but I always could found it back. I had redeemed it twice when I parked it illegaly :P And there was one time quite funny, when I just came back from my part time job at night and tried to unlock my mama-chari but failed. I found the mama-chari just as same as mine, but it was not mine!! Someone had mistaken my mama-chari. The strange thing is his key could fit to mine, but my key was absolutely not working on his. Quite lucky that I could found back my bike after 1 or 2 days, I had forgot... and the father of culprit gave me department store vouchers for asking his forgiveness LOL

I had my bike parked in a legal area at the station and pay for it monthly till last year. Now I just walk to nearest station. But sometimes when I am in hurry, I will ride my bike to the station and pay the daily parking fee. And it become my troubleness one time when I forgot that I rode my bike to station at the morning, and just walk back to home at the night. And when I realized it, I have to walked back to station to get my bike. And know what?!? I realized it after 3 days LOL

And today, when I parked my bike at supermarket and after back from shopping, again, I walked to home and had forgotten about my bike LOL I realized it after arrived at my apartment .....

I think i have to wash my brain soon .... :P
