A Cool Valentine’s Story
This story anything but new, I just read about it and I thought it was very cool, so here it is:
Back in 2004, this Canadian guy living in Scotland named Matt was traveling in Japan. He took a photo and uploaded it to Flickr and titled it ‘Mystery Girl in Harajuku‘.
A few weeks later, a friend of the so-called ‘Mystery Girl’ spotted the photo (what are the chances!!!), and recognized the tattoo on her shoulder. This person told ‘Mystery Girl’ (a Flickr user living in London known as CherryVega) about the photo and she contacted Matt and presented proof that she was indeed the one kneeling down to take the photo of the performers.
After two years, they are still together.
“Still together, just a few days over two years now. [...] I was walking back from the Meiji Temple (you go through the square at Harajuku) and thought “Now that’s a good picture”. The Wired article was pretty much spot on, apart from the fact I’m a Canadian living in Scotland, and not Scottish as reported, but that’s a pretty forgiveable mistake, I think.” -Matt
How cool is this?
PS. Matt, thanks for letting me post about this.
