Gosh.. I was just sitting and thinking about past events in my life and again I came to conclusion that there are no coincidences. How come? Here is simple example about how I did NOT buy a bicycle.
I am living in Copenhagen and it is impossible to imagine this city without bicycle. It’s like being without legs, because this is your primary transportation vehicle, which one by the way I still do not have. So I was really desperate finally to have one and started to brush all Sell/Buy webpages.
Finally I found one what more or less satisfied my ambitions and needs. As a regular student I text to seller and said that I will by his bike for certain amout of money.
And here we started to bargain and at the end guy were tired from me and agreed to sell it + coffee from me. I did not like that deal, because there are many perverts in the web. And any way bike did not have a lock, and that was important for me. So at the end I said NO, having lock as an excuse.
After couple of hours I am receiving text back in Russian: “Good luck”. But I did not notice that text was from the same number. So I wrote back: “You might be mistaken with number”
Answer: “No, I am not”. I started to think maybe someone of my friend is kidding me.
Me: “How do you know that I speak Russia”
Answer: “Well, Elena + English language in Copenhagen is not so common thing. So you must be Russian speaking or from Spain”. (Guy things pretty logical.)
Me: “Hey, I just moved from Spain to Denmark”.( Holly crap, he were right here as well!!)
Answer: “Well, I told you should had to agree for coffee”
Me: “Man..Where you from?”
Answer: “I am from Latvia, Riga”
HOLLY @$%^&$# – is that possible??? No way, me too!!
Moral of the story: Do not buy a bicycle, when you don’t need it 🙂 JUST KIDDING!!! Still be careful, not everyone can be so lucky like me to meet nice person.
Now guy is my first Latvian speaking friend. And I am so happy. And the funny thing that couple of days ago I was thinking that it’s been long time that I am not speaking Latvian and I need to make some Latvian speaking friends.
UNIVERSE responded – here you are, Elena. Just Ask and delivery service leave for Universe 🙂
P.S. Oh yeah, almost forgot, my friends – BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR:) It may come true!
