Just wanted to say, when I visited England with my dad a while back, when we went out to the countryside to see the castles and forts and whatnot, the people out there were so different than what I was used to. One day we were trying to get to Bodiam castle, a place my dad had seen in pics since he was a kid and wanted to go there all his life. The day we decided to go, the trains were out of service! We took the trains as close as we could get, then we just randomly asked a local how we could get there. We didn't ask if they could take us there, just how we could get there since the trains were down. Well going there and coming back, the first person we asked just said, oh I'll take you there! I was shocked! Where I'm from I would never even think to ask a stranger of that! I have to say it's nice to be in a community like that, but i guess it's becoming less and less everyday.
But still one of my favorite memories ever in my life.
