Nice to be treated like a celebrity.
heehee YAY! you're famous!!!
as for me, I don't think so, or maybe i just don't know....??? I'm kinda ignorant when I'm studying cuz my eyes are seriously less than 5 inches from the textbook (surprisingly my glasses only have a prescription of -120 lol) and I've been told three times to watch my bag. Once my mom's friend played a (nasty) joke on me: she crawled up behind and "stole" my bag just to see if I'd notice and I didn't lol; another time my friend was hinting to me that his "other friend" lost his gymbag while eating; and finally this other time a security guard came up to me and said in French "mademoiselle, I've been watching you for 1/2 hour and you haven't lifted up your eyes once. It is very dangerous and I care about your safety. Please be more careful with your rather expensive bag because we have been notified of several thefts around recently" .............umm okay :s Ya.. I'm VERY ignorant lol
Also I don't know about Europe, but I do think that, compared to China, North Americans are generally more open toward complimenting people or even approaching strangers
