The best things in life don’t cost you a dime.
Preconceived fun or entertainment is totally overrated. Go to the movies and spend 1800 yen. Go to Disneyland for 4000 yen. OR do what I did on my way home from the train station yesterday for free.
It was 7:44 and I had just got off my train, walking back to my apartment – a 7 minute walk. It was dark and I always take a major street with lots of cars and sidewalk traffic. Jamming out to Mary J, I was really getting into it. “Jesus,” I thought as I passed by the droned-out people walking towards me in the other direction, “if they had a little Mary J in their iPod they’d have a spring in their step.”
SMUSH… rustle, rustle.
“Oh my god!” I certainly had a spring in my step at this point jumping probably as far as my victim did.
Not quite knowing what had just happened, I shuddered in horror for a good while. After I had gotten over the initial shock of feeling a kooshie thing come in contact with my sneaker, I did an instant replay in my head of what I had just seen.
I had semi-stepped on a frog the size of a mango, which quickly hopped away into a nearby bush. It was dark outside, and I could only make out that some object leapt out away from me. You know, I have never seen a frog jump in real life, but it’s funny how it’s unmistakable. In California, I never saw wild frogs, in fact, I don’ t know if I ever saw frogs the size of mangos in captivity. But a frog hop is unmistakable even in the dark nights of Tokyo.
Thank god, I had not injured the thing. I checked the sole of my shoe when I got home, and there was nothing. No goo, no flakes or anything resembling that one had just semi-stepped on a frog. Although I was thoroughly grossed out and felt quite violated, I hoped that the frog had found a safe haven, maybe with a miniature couch and TV in the bushes it disappeared into.
Now tell me which one sounds the best: movie for 1500 yen, Disneyland for 4000 yen or a frog foray for free?
Well, since you got away with clean shoes and no one got hurt …
