Watched a very moving movie of the Washington DC Turkish Film Festival- 125 Years Memory (Ertuğrul 1890). In 1890, a poor Japanese fishing village poured all its resources to rescue the survivors of a Turkish military ship, and then in 1985 the Turkish embassy in Tehran allowed the Japanese citizens stranded In Tehran to fly on Turkish rescue planes before Turkish citizens to return the favors during the Iran-Iraq war. It reminded me of all the kindness and help I received during my travel via 60+ countries around world, and I will pay it forwards. Thanks to all the friends, couch hosts, and strangers helped me alone the way! — checked in to Landmark's E Street Cinema.
