A Tiny Event
It was happened on a rainy day .
I took a subway with my long umbrella. The travel needed one hour to go, so I wanted doing something to kill the boring time, I sat and made my crochet hook , I focused on my handy stuff and nearly forgot the station I should to off.So when I realized it and stood up in a hurry, I forgot to take my umbrella before left.
But it was too late,the gate closed behind me. I had to follow the other people who took thire numbrella up to ground and felt a little upset, how can I do next?
It was still raining outside and no any shops around if I wanted to buy a new one. The worse was that I needed walking in the rain for another 10 mins. If no umbrella with me,I should become a drenched chicken for sure. 
With hesitation and a hope I went back to the service center before out, asked if they had any rent umbrella business. They said no. But when the young lady knew my issue,she helped me to connect the next station... waiting in a second I got the good news that my umbrella still there.
then it's easy for me, just took the next subway to bring it back. Hmmm...I am lucky enough this time but not sure the next time. How do you think?
Have a nice weekend!

i am also met such situation on some occasion. you are right, you were lucky this time. Next time be more careful with your things b4 step out from your vehicle.
Nice to meet you! Yes, I think so. A bad gift I think.
I recall now, once a time I picked out a dress in a shop with my sis. At the end, I took the dress back and left my umbrella in that shop.
You are right, will be careful next time.
Yes,That day I was lucky,same as my umbrella. Otherwise, I really don't know how can I do? Running in the rain is not my age to do.
Yes, It seems like!!
I too have spent this day with my umbrella, draging it along with me, in and out of Shanghai metro, being very careful not to forget it somewhere.
If i had to choose one item to remind me of Shanghai once i'm gone, it would certainly be the umbrella. Shanghainese seem to always rely on them - to protect them even from the very first tiny drop of rain, to keep them dry in a rain shower, and, of course, hide them from sunshine at any season of the year...

I think, your town is amazing! Do you have traditional Viennese cafes there? A friend once told me to have visited one. I was wondering about this..
Hi,Bhirdie;
Glad to meet you here.and your words made me laugh. You are an attentive person, I guess. Even me, as a local person not observed so clear.
Yes, some of them scare of sprinkle ,sunshine too much. Umbrellas are their weapon to hold.
Enjoy your each days in Shanghai!
Sorry, late again.
Nice to meet you! hmmm... the thing is here no one like to steal an umbrella,especially an old one.
Your friend is right, there is only one Viennese Cafe in our city I was heard . Located in a beautiful spot. But unfortunately I 'v never been there yet.
