So, as I exited the taxi, I performed my usual check. Nope, nothing has been left behind. Good. I bend over to retrieve my backpack from the back seat and leave. The taxi drives away.
Seconds later, I realise my phone is not in my pocket. "Piss," think I, with some embarrassment at my own ineptitude. I don't mind too much, but I did like the number.
This morning, a friend of mine calls the phone. Turns out some people have found it and picked it up! That's nice. A little girl is speaking to my friend whilst the adults scream and shout in the background; fairly typical Chinese affair.
It turns out they want 20,000RMB for it. That is roughly £2000. "Wow", you must be thinking. "Quin must have an amazing phone!"
No. It is a troutey £50 phone I just bought to replace my old, broken £30 phone.
smurfing farmers, man.
