Water, dry rations etc. whatever I could afford. Being from a country that is quite often plagued by natural or man made disasters which require help to be sent, I expected the same view of people in the non-affected areas continuing their lives regularly. As soon as I entered I saw the huge lines at the cashiers points. People buying many shopping carts filled with water, milk powder, bread, diapers, rice, etc. There were maximum 4-5 people doing just their personal shopping and they were hard to spot in the huge crowd that was there to buy things for the people in need. I got teared up. I have never seen such a view in Turkey or anywhere else I have lived in. I would have never expected such a view in Sri Lanka where the average salary is less than the minimum wage in Turkey. I can't say my faith in humanity was restored but I just realized once again, Sri Lankan people, regardless of some bad seeds, are just amazing and helpful people. I am happy and lucky to be living amongst them. I hope the helpfulness here will rub on to many more people around the world."
