It reaffirms what I truly believe: There is more good in life than evil. We must seek and be more aware of the good, strive to be more good and support one another throughout this journey called life. What a beautiful post.

It just goes to show that there is still kindness in the world if you are open to it. I had a similar experience in Edinburgh, Scotland. Grant it, I've been to the UK 3 times, but this was my first time on my own and staying in a hostel. People gave me directions, and I found my hostel in no time. Everyone was really friendly and didn't mind helping me out. I do my best to help people out whenever I can. I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and the state is spread out; you need a car to travel to places. I usually end up helping locals out and they've been in the state longer than me :) Great post.

The locals are really friendly and helpful and you don't get the impression that they are trying to rip you off with inflated prices. One of my travelling companions didn't have change for the ferry row boat in Zadar and the ferryman just said not to worry about it. She felt bad as she was the only passenger so returned later to pay him. I was in Croatia twice in April 2009, in Zadar and then Istria.
