SURPRISE

I come home and check my mailbox and see a puffy package from Belgium. "Hmmm", I ponder. I remember ordering the 10 Euro Tintin coin from Belgian mint a couple months ago, but i never got a reply from them and they didn't have any credit card info from me so I assumed they never placed my order.

I open the package, and what do you know? It's one of the now completely sold-out 20,000 Ten Euro coins issued to commemorate the 75th birthday of Tintin. You have absolutely NO IDEA the sheer joy when I opened that package and saw what was inside. WHAT a day, it cured my nasty cold ... well, not really, but it was still great. Hmm ... and they haven't even charged me (or at least I think they haven't). They've sent the Bill (I think it's the bill, it's all in french) and somehow i have to pay the 31 Euros ... hmm ... gotta ask the bank I guess.
