When I was doing my English homework at my favorite Starbucks, a gentleman sat down next to me.
He glanced at me and asked me in English,
"Hi, are you studying English? How's your study?"
I was surprised,"Ohhhhhh, how talkative and friendly he is!"
---At Strabucks------------------------------------------
Peach: Yeah. I'm doing my homework:D
Gentle: Good!
Peach: Are you a teacher?
Gentle:No, but I can't speak Japanese, so I'm interested in studying language....bla bla bla
Peach: I like studying:D .....bla bla bla
---Coffee Break---
Gentle:Good luck on your study:D
Peach:Thanks!

After he'd gone, my sister made a weird face and said, "What happened? Why did he talk to you?"
I knew what she meant.
Japanese people are shy, so we hardly talk to someone that haven't met before.
I think people in western countries usually talk to new people friendly. I mean in the States, UK, Spain, Italy, Canada etc.
Am I right? Do you usually talk to someone you really don't know?
I like that style, so I had a great time today:D
