Hi everyone, this is Abhishek from shakethecosmos.com. Thanks for tuning in. Again, if this is your first time, hit that subscribe button or follow button and help me out by becoming a subscriber. So today, I'm going to talk about kindness and how I've been looking at it, and experiencing it in just wonderful, wonderful ways while I'm traveling. And this story just really hits home. I've been sharing with a lot of people how I met this couple here in Korea. So let's get into it.
Something interesting happened the other day, actually, I was just sitting, getting some morning coffee on the patio of the hostel. And my plan was really to check out the waterfall, and then also maybe get a massage, and really nothing else. Then I was just sitting doing my thing, and then this lady approached me and said, Hey, hello in Korean, which is annyeonghaseyo . And we started talking Korean using really little English, little Korean, but we were communicating. And then she said, pause for a little while and she said: "Hey, my husband is coming out a lot. Why don't you come with us and we can take you around the island." And I was like: "Wait. What?" So I'm on an island where it's really useful to have a car, but I cannot drive a car on this island because you need an international driver's permit. So this was really great, because now, I was like, wait, what? This is a great offer. Suddenly, okay, wow. But part of me was like, Wait, is this safe? Is this okay? What do they want in return?
And I got in the car with them, and they were like, Well, what do you want to eat? And then we went to the market and they treated me to lunch, some really good street food. We had some rice bonds, they explained every single thing I was eating and even shared food. It was just lovely. And then they were like, well, do you want to see the falls? And they took me to the waterfall. Then they took me to the forest, as I liked nature. And then we went up to the beach and they even took my photos. It was like a photoshoot out like a model. All this time, really just catching up, chatting about the world, and life, and philosophies, and friendships, and nothing really wanting in return, and kind of we're just really reminded me of the abundance that existed around me and just taking advantage of it receiving it. And this was great to receive. And then came dinnertime and they took me to a really top secret place on this island Jeju called hello world, annyeonghaseyo, one Jeju. And oh, my god, the plate was huge, and the food was great. I had a great time, again, they paid for the meal as well, the dinner and the dessert. So a multicourse meal paid for by this Korean couple, their hospitality is just great. And then they drove an hour back to give me a ride back to the hospital. So it was like a door to door adventure, almost 12 hours, and they didn't want anything in return. It was just amazing to just spend time with them.

And again, just reminds me of what the world has to offer. Sometimes, we're just touching and feeling the world. These kinds of things can happen. And for me, that is truly what happened. I'd love to hear what your experience has been like this, maybe you had an experience where you just felt the world was being abundant and filling you up with opportunities.
