I never fail to be amazed by small acts of kindness that seem to happen daily and without being sought.

Today, I asked an Official just for some information which they gave me, and it was sufficient for my needs.

But they want one step further, without my asking, and made a phone call on my behalf to start off the next process, which I could have done myself from home ....

I then got a big smile, and a wave of the hand to say it was nothing ...

How altruistic is that?

Let's make each other happy on this thread, by recalling little acts of kindness ..... :D

Last year on leaving a chemist in Limassol my wife dropped a credit card in the road.A day passed until she noticed it was missing.Under normal circumstances she would of cancelled the card via a phone call,but as we were Cyprus she felt no real panic to do so.
On return to the chemist true to form the credit card had been handed in by a young Cypriot.

I dropped my mobile phone in the carpark of a busy hotel - and it was handed in by a gardener. When my friend got carried away and bought a bit too much shopping to carry, the shopkeepers son gave her a lift home..................the list is endless!!!

No need to apologise ... these things have a way of getting passed on.

The expat may have been influenced by the positive Cypriot Zeitgeist.
