Special encouter in Kyoto


Upon request from readers, I am going to write more often about my daily encounters and thoughts. Hope you like them. Your honest comments will be most appreciated.

While I was on the topic of kindness, I want to share with you this special encounter.

I was traveling in Kyoto with my husband; every morning we went to a popular local café for breakfast. When we were served a glass of ice water, I would request warm water instead. (By the way, ice water (or drinks) is really not good for your health.) After 3 consecutive mornings, we stopped for a few days before going back again. The same waitperson served us and she gave me a glass of warm water without my asking. I was really surprised and my heart melted as I drank my warm water. I didn’t have a chance to thank her as she disappeared into the kitchen. I will do so on my next trip to Kyoto, and hopefully soon!
