A Miracle Embassy.
A man walks up to an embassy with a large bag and no appointment. He is told that he must make an appointment beforehand otherwise "no one sees the Wizard, not no way, not no how!" 1 hour later, he walks out of the embassy with exactly what he came for.
A Miracle Office.
That same man follows his desire to find an affordable bike despite searching desperately for sanctuary in the form of KFC Deluxe Burgers and a Medium Coke, finds neither, and ends up in a Dutch theme restaurant eating a "Hamburger In and Out" next to Jakarta's Bike2Work office. There is not an ounce of hostility or dismissiveness in that office. He's offered a bike to borrow, places to sleep along his journey in 7 weeks, and a possible sponsorship. He then is asked if he wants to take a bike ride through Jakarta, enjoys the hell out of it, and ends up on top of the Antara media building overlooking Jakarta's National Monument for a hot 5 minutes with a dozen other cyclists. He's made some new friends and is offered a chance to tag along on a cycling trip to central Java for a few days.
If I am dreaming, don't wake me up. If I'm not, please show me how to properly respond to this. It should involve 20 kg of fireworks, a Homer-style circular floor run, and a place to dance badly.
The Anti-Miracle.
The man forgot his camera and camera phone... I thought we were just going for a bike ride...
