Today, while getting some dinner from the school restaurant (I was in a risk taking mood) a girl kept staring at me. It was a little disconcerting but I'm getting used to stares, so just ignored it. But then on the way out she started walking slowly towards me. I had almost passed her when she said hello.
It totally took me by surprise.
Turned out she had to interview and English speaking person for an assignment and so asked me if I'd help. Of course I said yes. Apparently she had been trying to pluck up the courage to ask me for the last five days. She was so shy, and scared of offending me, but by the end of the interview (when she realised I'm just a normal person) she was fine.
No matter how many people I meet, it never fails to impress me how friendly people are here. And what a difference being nice to people (especially the ones you're scared of) makes.
You gotta love this country.
