I totally love this city!
I remember going to Hamburg for a rugby tournament and leaving my phone charging in the bathroom, while playing, without any concern. Later when I came to pick it up, it was gone and there was a note to go to the cafeteria. There I was told that Hamburg is not like Munich and I should take care of my stuff and never leave them like that. I couldn’t believe it, since I had the thought that all of Germany was very safe, unlike Mexico, which is where I come from.
But like it has many times proven, Munich is a different city, the other day I ran out of my house and hours later realized I had lost my right glove.
I thought I would never see it again and I was about to throw away the left one, when I came back to my house and found my lost glove hanging on the entrance of the building. This made me so happy, but I understand that when someone looses something inside a building it is not that hard to get it back, but this time I had to treasure the moment, since I found my left glove carefully left out for me to see. I lost it while taking a foto of the street full of snow for my parents. I am really thankfull and I don’t know if these gloves were destined to stay with me or it was just good luck but I feel like leaving cookies out for the people that took the time and care to let me find my gloves back. I believe in karma and I know these individuals will get their cookies one way or another.
I wanted to share this special moment because I feel really gratefull and know that Munich is filled with great people that value and care for their neighbor citizens.
