A couple from Finland

As you know, Matthew and I are facing different kinds of challenges every day so far. The biggest challenge is "How to get there??".

Yesterday, we were walking down the street and saw a couple with big suitcases and a map, pointing at builings here and there. Clearly, they got lost.

"Matthew, don't you wanna help them? They are in the same situation."

We crossed the street and said, "Do you need help? We also came to Tokyo yesterday so that we don't know the city, but I can speak Japanese!" I got their map in my hands and started asking ppl. The Japanese ppl. They don't smile to strangers but they are VERY nice ppl. Every single person we asked for help spent some time to find our locations. Especially this guy, yesterday, took us to the corner, left us there and walked a couple of blocks to find this hotel. He literally spent 15 mins for us to find this hotel. We thanked him so much for his kindness and efforts. He was a hero of the day, we all thanked him with big smiles but he never smiled back to us. Hehehe.
