Introduction In this lesson Ami and I talk about what to do if you lose your wallet or other personal items when in Japan. The good news is that Japanese people are generally very law abiding and honest. Therefore, if someone finds your lost item, there is a good chance they will hand it in to the police and you will get it back. If you do lose something, the best idea is to ring the place you think you left it and ask if it has been found. If you lose something on the train it's best to go to the station master's office and ask there. If you drop something in the street then you should go to a Koban or police box. This lesson focuses on how to call the last place you were at to ask the staff if they found you things. Study the vocabulary list and dialogs below to learn how to do it.
