I just had to share a miracle that happened to me a few weeks ago. The owner of one of the private language schools that I work at here in Niigata called me to tell me that she had a free bike for me.
Now maybe some of you might be thinking that I should focus on getting a car and not a bike. Well, here in Japan, many people from children to company workers use bicycles to get around. (It sure saves on gas!)
Well, let's get back to my story. The owner of the school calls me and tells me that she has a free bike for me. The bike had been given to a former teacher at the school by a student two years ago. Well, the bike was stolen soon after that. The police found it a short time ago and they called the former student. Then she called the school about it. The former teacher had returned to his home country, so the owner decided to call me and ask me. I said that I would like it. The paperwork was arranged for the bike to be in my name and I got a used bike. I had to spend a little money to replace the light and the front brake pads. The bike turned out to be a great blessing. Now I do not have to walk everywhere.
