This is the third time I'm talking about both these things here. No matter.
My family loves this place because everytime they've been here, they've lost something. And everytime, it's been returned to them, when they least expected to get it back. The first time, my mom left her luggage on the NYC metro. Two very nice women came back with the luggage in ten minutes. The second time TD dropped her wallet at the airport. Two weeks later (when she was back in Boston), she went to the lost-and-found, and there it was, without a cent missing from it.
And last evening, I left my cellphone on the bus. I contacted the cellphone soon after, they texted and called the number I sent to the phone, and in half-hour, I went to the location where I'd dropped it in the bus, and they gave it back to me. Just like that. None of the passengers had taken it, it hadn't been disbanded or discarded or anything. Was really happy.
Its not like I haven't had things get stolen or taken just like that. It's the fact that the people here actually believe in and respect the rule of law. Without concern for people's color of skin. Generally, people respect the law whether they're white or black or green or blue. It's only the orange persons that appear to have a disregard for law and order. And thus, my condition for staying in this country has been: if the orange people are not brought to justice and forced to respect the rule of law, I will lose my respect for this country and leave.
