Thanks for sharing this story! I can't even imagine buying drinks from a total stranger on the street nowadays.. I would not trust that, but I love reading that there are still parts of the world where this is part of the culture.
Coffee definitely connects and I'd love to be surrounded with people who share their coffee on the streets. I loved reading your story when waiting for the baby to be born as well as the lady at the bakery. What a sad but touching story.
Yes, here it is still common to give coffee as a gift. It happens a lot in the health centers in the mornings and evenings. There is always someone who shows solidarity with someone in trouble. But don't think that everything is a garden of roses. There are also those who take advantage of the innocence of others. Thank you for stopping by and commenting, dear @thisismylife . A big hug from Maracay.
I think it's a great thing that it still exists there..
But yes, all places have rotten apples too, sadly.
I had to look up Maracay.. Do you like living there? I've never been to that part of the world (sadly) .. maybe one day..
