Two weeks ago I and my friends went to "The corner" pub to talk and have fun. After 2 hours, we went home and unfortunately I forgot my phone at the pub.
I was very panicked because only after I was home had I realized that I didn't have my phone with me. I thought my phone would have disappeared because in Vietnam, my country, robbery is very common. However, I decided to look for it at the pub the day after. I went to the pub again the following day, I asked the bartender if he had seen my phone anywhere but he said no. I felt really bad, I thought I had lost my phone for real. My friend tried calling my number and it was still ringing, which gave me a lot of hopes. At that moment, a guy came to me, he was holding my phone in his hand and he said he found it under a chair, which was the chair we sit the night before. I was significantly surprised because my phone was still at the place it had been. I thanked the guy for his help and honesty.
That was a nice cultural experience in Finland. Before I came to Finland, I had been told that Finnish people were really honest and kind. Of course, seeing is better than hearing. I am thankful that I had the chance to see the Finnish's kindness. I think the reason for this is because Finland is a peaceful country and the people have no reason to steal someone's stuff since their lives are generally good and fulfilled.
You must feel very lucky!! From my point of view, in every country you can find every sort of people, it is possible that someone may steal something. Anyway I agree with you, people in Finland, generally, tend to be honest and reliable.
ReplyDeleteDear Thuy,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting situation. Could you also separate text into: Describe, Interpret and Evaluate in your post! From the interpret point of view, why do you think that the phone was still there?
