This poor fellow
The tour guide - a wonderful young, modern Muslim man from Istanbul introduced 'his helper'. This poor guy was caught in a bombing of his house in Syria. All his family was killed but him. he escaped to Turkey and now sells water in the square and helps on the boat to survive. As the guide explained this, he started to cry - quitely. I was near him but the only one who offered some sympathy and gave him a hug. Others - ESPECIALLY the jihab couple were so cold and disrespectful, others just uncomfortable. Well - he became my 'buddy' and he took 'care' of me during the rest of the trip. He was obviously affected mentally be the bombiing but was still trying to do his bit to be part of 'society'. So sad.
