This Post From Chef Duanio:
I, Duanio, have had this happen to me at least three times. the
people who helped were poorer than me, spoke no English, and asked
for nothing, and gave me food, too. I hitchiked and have also broken
down and needed help. Immigrants from Mexico have helped the
stranger. I am not that good, myself. Articles like this build a
healthy humility. It will be needed, as well as healthy self
respect, in order to be successfully Gypsy Cool.
