I can't believe how lucky we got yesterday.
We were showing the city to a couple of friends from overseas, and they wanted to meet a girl they used to be friends with here. The problem is, they didn't have her address - they only knew the building where she lived (and it was quite a riddle because the fastfood restaurant they gave as reference went bankrupt a few years ago). Just because we didn't want to sound too pessimistic (but we were almost sure we wouldn't find her), we decided to give it a shot and show them the building: maybe one of them had an epiphany and remembered the apartment where this mysterious girl lived.
We took them there and they were just as puzzled as we were. They thought of shouting the girls name to see if she answered, or something like that. There were something like 6 nested buildings, three storeys each, and we didn't know which one was hers. Until we saw a person come out and, just for the hell of it, we asked if she knew a "Japanese-looking girl".
Turns out it was the girl's neighbour
