Sam Bowman(@s8mb):One of the things I really like about Americans is how often they'll strike up conversation with you as a stranger. It's usually about something pretty substantive as well, like their favourite thing to order at the restaurant you're queuing for or what they've been doing that day. It just makes daily life much more interesting and varied over there.
