When you're travelling solo, you meet a lot of people. Diffrent kind of people. Some examples:
STRANGE STRANGERS [Stockholm]
I was walking down the road, when suddenly a boy came to me and started asking me questions. I was VERY confused. I was note sure, if he wanted to rob me or whatever, so I asked him what the point of all this is. He answered, he just saw me and liked me (WTF?). So I told him I'm actually late for the museum and I really have to leave now. But he persisted to come with me. I was so perplexed, I just said a loud and long "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" :D. He finally left.
AWESOME PPL YOU MEET IN HOSTELS [Uppsala]
I finally arrived in my hostel in Uppsala (after one hour walking around and looking for it). After some minutes, a girl came in and asked me right away, if I would like to join her to go to a free open air theatre in swedish about the history of Uppsala. Of course I said yes! It was so funny and interesting (even if we didn't understood much...). We shared my food and afterwards she invited me for a tea in a cute little italian restaurant. And we talked about how boring it is to go to restaurants alone! :D
NICE PPL YOU MEET IN TRAINS [Sthlm --> Uppsala]
I met in the train a lovely family from Uppsala. We talked about politics, gender roles, maternity leave and the diffrences of our countries. Very interesting!
LOVELY ELDER WOMAN [Göteborg]
Helping people is a nice opportunity to carry on a conversation. An elderly woman lost her way to the centralstation. I had to go there as well, so we walked together and she recommended me what to do in Göteborg the next day.
CUTE BOY BUT SOMEHOW STRANGE AS WELL [Oslo]
Everyone told me that norwegian men (and women as well) are shy and reserved. But there was one boy (with beard - very norwegian!) in the metro, who started talking to me in Norwegian language. He said he likes my bracelets and so we started talking ( He didn't understand why someone wants to visit Oslo^^). The conversation was a little bit strange, I think we both felt a little bit uncomfortable because we are usually not that kind of people who starts talking to strangers. When we arrived at the station, we said goodbye and left. But suddenly he turned around and said: "Hey, I just wanted to say: You look good!". He turned back and walked away. Aawww that was somehow cute, he gave me a compliment without being obtrusive! Without asking for my number or facebook or whatever, I really liked that! :D
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH SOME PPL? [Oslo]
I really wonder! Normally, no one comes just up to me and starts a conversation without any particular reason. At this point, it happened to me twice! (Boy in Sthlm and boy in Oslo). And this is the third one. But it was not a boy. He was an about 50 years old man. I was sitting at the bus stop. He asked me if I speak italian, then told me "molto bella" and asked me to meet up in Switzerland. No! NO! Why should I? I don't know you! We don't share any interests! We are not at the same age! We are not friends! We hardly talked to each other! WHY SHOULD I?!?
