Could you tell me about a small kindness from a stranger that made a real difference to you (in whatever way)?

If I look back at my life, the sweet small kindnesses of strangers are pivotal and really combine to help shape my world view - and they probably have no idea.

    Europe had some really nice guys. When I first arrived in Denmark, I was pretty much completely lost. Then a taxi driver noticed me and took me to a hostel where I could stay for the night. We had a nice conversation and all, and he told me a lot about Copenhagen and showed me around.

    While I still disagree a lot with their unnecessarily bureaucratic way of doing things, they really are nice people overall.
