I talk to strangers.
It is much easier to start conversation with a person stuck next to you whom you will probably never see again.
Here’s just some people I can remember talking to
- Rimskiy-Korsakov’s grand son, consul of Belgium
- Tiffany’s diamond buying director
- GE regional director
- director of nuclear research institute
- salesperson selling grass to football stadiums
- VP of scaffolding making corporation
- antique floors maker
- Movie director
- TV host
- Bankers
- Students
- Elderly parents visiting their children abroad
And I talk to the crew. They seem to appreciate when someone treats them as people and not serve-me-food-now objects
