Tiffany- Italy - Random Act of Kindnes

Today was a rainy day so I went to the laundromat to dry my clothes. Many apartments here have a washing machine and a clothes line outside for drying. At the laundromat, there was a sign on the dryer that I couldn't completely understand so I opted to type it into my phone translation app before loading my clothes. A man spotted me typing (and probably looking rather confused) and approached me with a sentence in Italian of which I could make out about 3-4 words. We both quickly realized that my understanding of Italian and his understanding of English were about the same. Despite this, he reached for my coin and started the machine for me.
We spent about 10 minutes discussing basic personal info in broken Italian/English. He was from Cairo but has been living in Milan for several years. He also has a sister who lives in the US but has never traveled there himself.  Right in the middle of the conversation he asked me to follow him and with plenty of hesitation I chose to oblige. We went next door where he offered me some coffee and managed to tell me in broken Italian/English that he wished me good luck in my studies. We then went back to the laundromat where he grabbed his clothes, kissed me on both cheeks and went on his way.

These types of random acts of kindness are what inspire me to travel the world, meet its people and strive to be a better person.
