I've been bombarded with people asking how they can help. For now, I just tell them it's a bit early. Emergency responders need time to do their work.RyukyuMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274885659789720372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603293883718966986.post-52488902324308924462011-03-13T06:57:38.401-07:002011-03-13T06:57:38.401-07:00Just stumbled across your page, and am enjoying re...Just stumbled across your page, and am enjoying reading the hints and tips.<br /><br />One of my friends lost their wallet in tokyo and retured the next day to look for it to find it sat waiting for them.

Maybe someone needs to do a study. Is there a different level of honesty between country and city folk? Or does religion, culture, wealth or climate play a role in what tod do when you find a wallet? Hmm...RyukyuMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274885659789720372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603293883718966986.post-58841920164867484622010-08-26T15:47:18.415-07:002010-08-26T15:47:18.415-07:00I love this story.

Such honesty we don't find where I come from - or most anywhere, I guess.www.solofemaletraveler.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070415323874873038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3603293883718966986.post-45055445240520326512010-08-26T00:16:27.861-07:002010-08-26T00:16:27.861-07:00Helsinkiph,
