#35 I approached a store and outside on the ground was an old Japanese man begging.  Instead of giving him money, I invited him for lunch.  He told of how his daughter died in a car accident and left two boys.  The man begs on the side to help the kids.  And then I drove him to his home.

#6 While riding the tube, I witnessed a family go out of their way to escort an elderly woman, who had poor vision and didn’t speak English, from the train to her connecting line. Amidst such a massive crowd, it was heartwarming to see these strangers work to help her find her way.
