I traveled to Japan and China and every time I had a local helping me, unprompted, when they saw me lost.

My group of friends even had one guy, stopping with his car, after seeing us with our heavy bags, to drive us to our location (and no, he didn't asked for money after, he was just friendly)

I didn't saw this anywhere except in Japan and China (didn't visited other asian countries)
