A bit of kindness shown is thought provoking.

Sure, I'd help out if I could, and I am learning to accept help when it's offered. Life is better for us all when we help one another out.

Long story short eh? But yes, I'm the kind always willing to help other people. And frankly I think this world would be a much better place if we all did. All we need to do is realize how glad we would be getting some help sometimes.

I do appreciate these kind gestures from good Samaritans and I could not help recalling my eventful holiday in Chiangmai, Thailand with three of my classmates. We actually went on an 8 days sightseeing package that took us to Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiangmai and Chiangrai. Everything was going well until the 4th day when we arrived at Chiangmai after a night in Chiangrai which was well known for the Golden Triangle. Somehow, I think it was the dinner we ate that got all of us down with acute food poisoning. We were like rushing for the toilet every 15 minutes of our supposedly 3 hours coach ride to Chiangmai which ended up taking 5 hours. By the time we arrived into Chiangmai, we were utterly exhausted and dehydrated. We really looked liked some witches that just arrived paled as sheets. We were all starting to panic when none of our diarrhea seems to get better and to cut the story short, we actually passed out in our room. Anyway, when I woke up I realized we were all in a private hospital next to each one of us. Even more surprising was it was the hotel's housekeeper who helped evacuate us to the hospital when it should have been our tour guide. When we were discharged, we learned that our hotel helped extended our visit pass and coordinated with our tour agency to let us complete our trip without a hitch. In all we really felt so touched by all these good Samaritans who had gone above and beyond to help 4 strangers from another country who does not even know how to speak their language. Most of all, the housekeeper who helped us was only 19 years old and they did not even accept our monetary token of appreciation. At the end of the day, we returned to this hotel and threw a party at the hotel for all who helped us. This was probably my most memorable overseas trip and my first experience of Samaritans in a foreign land where I least expect it. So, I would never hesitate to help anyone in need of help.

A stranger once helped me in buying tickets. She was standing a bit far from me but she how I struggled to communicate with the old lady, after a few minutes when she realized the situation between me and the lady, she came up to translate for both me and the lady and boy I was so glad for what she did! Because of her, I was able to come home

That was really nice of them to stop and help you. Your definely not old at 40, being I'm in my late 30s and don't like to be consider old. LOL My hubby always stops for people with car trouble. He stopped for this poor girl one day. She was a high school kid driving home from school and her car broke down in traffic. The road was all backed up and she was so upset she was crying. He felt so bad for her. He helped her push the car to the side of the road and had her call her parents when the car wouldn't restart. He stayed with her until her dad showed up to make sure she got help and wouldn't be stuck on the side of the road. I do believe in good karma though because when our car broke down in the middle of we got luck and perfect stranger stopped and helped us push it to the side of the road. So if you help people when they need it someone will help you when you need it.
