So as some of you know there was a crying baby that ended up in the seat next to me on my flight across the ocean. Turns out that this cute little one belonged to a couple who had come to the states trying for a better life and was returning after 3 years to visit family and friends. Now what are the odds that this one couple was going to the same place that I was? Or that they lived around the block from my host family? Well in God’s scheme of things it’s not bad odds at all. We traveled to Munich together and then hopped on the small jet to Timasuara after a 3 hour layover. I didn’t sleep at all on the plane and felt a little sick in Munich…..also this airport didn’t have A/C and I was sweaty and shall we say a little smelly. When we crammed onto the little plane you could tell everyone felt ready to be to their final destination. We all smelled too so I fit right in. In Timasuara we realized this Romanian family was going to have to wait 2 hours to get a ride back to a ride so my host family offered to try to fit all of us in their vehicle. I was so impressed at how they didn’t think twice to offer help to someone. This culture helps each other out so much more…..like it’s not even an inconvenience to them. They know their neighbors and look out for each other and live life so much closer together. I often wonder if they are richer than we are.
