“My God, I know it looks like I’ve had a heart attack, and that’s what really happened.” With these words begins a story time of a movie boy who counts on tiktok one of the worst nightmares of every international traveler: lose your passport in a country other than your own. Knowing that without it you can’t do anything, this boy explains how the haneda airport -located in Tokyo- did everything possible to find the boy’s lost passport.
“I am at Haneda airport and the worst thing that could happen to me has happened: I have lost my passport. If I had lost my passport at another airport I would have given up and started crying, but this is Japan. And one of the things which Japan is very good at is finding lost objects”, with these words (and somewhat agitated by fright) the Tiktok user @storiesofcz explains how he found the passport.
“The first thing I did was go back to the ANA (All Nippon Airways) check-in counter and explained that I had lost my passport. They made some calls and mobilized a large number of people to start looking for it. Then I went to the information desk at the airport to explain that he had lost his passport and they mobilized their own team to search for him.As I was running from one end to the other, a customer service agent chased me and said: “sir, are you looking for your passport?” And I was like: “Oh my God, you have my passport.” And she said, “Yeah! We’ve been looking for you.”

Far from leaving it a hopeless case, the airport workers did everything possible to find it and return it to its owner. “So they have this customer service agent running all over the airport looking for me. So he took me to another ANA counter where they kept my passport and while the ANA agent gave me my passport back, he apologized for taking so long to find me. . And I’m like “what’s wrong with this country?”” and that’s how one of the most surreal stories ends that, possibly, would not have ended the same way in another country (no disrespect to anyone, but Japan stands out for his way of organizing and cooperating).
