Random Acts of KindnessCrackhouseceilidhband asks: Has anyone ever been nice to you, out of the blue, for no reason? Have you ever helped an old lady across the road, even if she didn't want to? Make me believe that the world is a better place than the media and experience suggest

Inter-railing 1991We were on a overnight train from Greece to Turkey.
The train aproached the Turkish border and was stopped for all kind of customs/passport fun. This meant big vicious border guards going through the carriages shouting to wake everyone up.
We have our passports taken off us in the train and told to get off and queue for customs. Being seperated from your pasport is quite worrying.
So we all get off and have to queue to enter a shed where we give our names, have our passports found, and pay either £5 or $5 in cash for a entrance visa.
I had the necsessary sterling so paid up and went back out. Got chatting to some English people in the queue and they were scared as they they didn't have any sterling or dollars. Chat in the queue was that if you couldn't pay then you were left at the station for the next train back to Greece, which could be hours and hours later.
I gave a nice English couple £10 to so they could continue. They took my address and said they would send me a cheque when they got back to Blighty.
Still waiting for that cheque you fuckers !
Still, Istanbul was amazing.
