One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was walking in the middle of the night through the city of Konstanz (germany). It was a cold and windy night and I needed a place to rest. Eventually, after hours of wandering I encountered people leaving a mall. That is a great spot rest for a while. I reasoned that if it is open at 3:00 am that it would remain open. So I went in and found myself a ''comfy'' spot to rest. As I almost entered a peacefull slumber a low voice saying '' Guten nacht '' disrupted this. Half asleep I looked up and saw a security guard. In my head I started preparing myself for the preach this guard would give me. But despite my expectations the guard asked me where I came from. After I explained my situation the security guard said to my surprise I could spent the rest of the night in the mall and would keep an eye out for me. After a few hours of deep sleep the guard returned. Not to mention I had to leave, but to give me some breakfast. He talked to the baker, also situated at the mall, and had some leftovers from the previous day. After giving him my heartly appreciation I continued my journey joyous and well rested.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything with music!! This could be jamming, singing, teaching, being tought, showing some nice songs or hearing some nice songs of yours or just listening to some of your favorite songs.
Discussing ideas, values, emotions or stories. By sharing these you can expand knowledge of others and yourself.
Philosophy or ethics. Nothing can be as fun as discussing a topic which makes your brain melt.
Hiking and nature. I just love hiking and nature. I would greatly enjoy hiking towards a beautiful spot with you.
Culture and architecture. Nothing can be as amazing as seeing a huge creation of mankind. The shear amount of human effort, time, planning and collaboration can be so sublime.
Art, Art and Art. Show me your art or work of an artist you admire. Tell me what it means to you, what kind of symbols you see and which kind of emotions it stirs up. Obviously visiting a exposition or museum would be neat too.
