It's just that I'm a sociable person who likes to make friends wherever I go. I had a great time in Hong Kong staying with a lady there in her flat - didn't know her from Adam before I went. Last year I went to Moldova for a month and stayed with a lady I'd never met either, in her flat.Originally Posted by Tawi2

It works both ways. Returning by train from a trip to London on Sunday, a lady fresh over from Poland to work in the local hospital asked me if she'd be able to get a taxi from the station. The answer was no and as it's 2 or 3 miles from the town with no buses either along a dark, isolated and narrow country lane, I gave her a lift. She didn't seem at all worried, getting in a car with a complete stranger.
