This is it! the first swap clothes in year 2019! Last Saturday, Ying held a swapping clothes event where you can bring your old but still good clothes to the swap and then other people will also bring their clothes and we just swap with each other, no restriction on how many clothes you should take, you can also bring your shoes, bags, accessories etc.
This is one of the reason why I succeed of not buying too much clothes in 2018 *thumbs up and I shall continue it in 2019 hahaha
You can see many many many clothes thats available here! from different sizes, style and even things you have no idea what the HELL is that haha and look at all the happy ladies on the paradise of clothes!
Unfortunately, theres a mystery that need to be solved and up until now not solved yet. Ying and Seth’s down jacket was taken! inside Ying’s jacket there are keys, metro card and gloves but nothing on Seth’s. So it will be easier to know that white long down jacket is actually belong to somebody, while for Seth’s it will be hard for people to realize that yours are not belong to the swap. #sorry
We asked all the people there but nobody see it, perhaps the one that took it already left and not in the group chat so it will be hard to trace them.
However we are still trying to find out where is the jacket, maybe somebody moved it and put it somewhere but the result is a no, they searched the whole corner of the bar but still couldn’t find it.
Seth is a photographer so he took a picture when the event started and we try to see if we can identify someone sitting around that area and then we find out that it was only less than 10mins after the event started and the jacket was taken and there werent many people at that time 🙁
I know its sucks when people mistakenly take your stuff especially in this winter time and you dont have a jacket 🙁 but what I like about Seth and Ying was they still able to find the positive and funny words regarding this. They said “now we are able to narrow it down to only 6mins so few people were there between 2:12-2:18PM” wohooo yeah good progress!So it was only within this 6mins and the down jacket gone! (not) by the wind specifically but just a methapore you know 🙂
and he continued with another funny alibi “now I need to find the clue from the floor maybe the feather fall down and I can trace it” ahahahaha *face palm
I know there was a family that sat around that area a baby that is less than 1yo and the parents I said maybe the parents remember who were sitting or standing next to them and Seth said “maybe even the baby know it! in the next 5years when he is able to speak he can come to us and explain the crime he witnessed” yeah Seth for sure that what the baby will do 😉
Anyhow until the event finished, we didnt find it and nobody came or reply in the group that it was somebody somebody that mistakenly took it 🙁 huhuhu
Look at the leftover!
This is only parts of it and what will they do with it? they will donate it to the rural area. I guess this is a very good idea sometimes people buy stuff and then dont want to wear it again and dont know what to do…well then this swap is the answer, maybe it will fit better in another person’s closet and even if its not you still do a contribution by giving it to the people who need it more 😉
Thanks Ying for voluntarily organizing this every month! and thanks to Seth that also supporting the swap, we need more people like you. And thanks God you didnt put your key inside your jacket ahahaha so at least you Guys can go back to your Apartment safe and sound 🙂
This is Ying, picture taken by Seth hahaha!
Sorry for your down jacket but if I ever see somebody wear it on the next swap, we know what we should do haha from now on, detective mode on!
On top of it, I would like to use this opportunity to say thank you to Pewa that became the pioneer of this swapping event on Hangzhou and then she moved to Shanghai and she started the first swap here. Pewa is not in Shanghai anymore and I dont know precisely where she is now but I hope you can see how much your swap idea grows, you should be proud of yourself.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
News update at around 8PM somebody reached Ying and that she could get her and Seth’s jacket again! wohoooooo so its a happy ending! 快递 will do the delivery. we all are so happy that their down jacket go back to their home and the mystery solved! now we can all turn off our detective mode 😉
