Who are you??

    Have you ever met a stranger on a street? There are many places where we meet new people in our life that could be a school, an office, or might be a volunteer. Some people might have found friends through SNS communities. So probably finding friends on a street also can be a sort of good chance. But you have to be careful if you really meet a stranger outside.
    It was last fall. My friend Risa got off the train and was heading for her home. It was early evening, and she was alone. When she went out the station a guy suddenly talked to her. Actually they had been on a same car of the train. He was talking friendly and looked normal, so she basically did not get scared.
    Actually she had been used to meeting a stranger since she had come to US. She already had some good friends through same kind of experiences. She had not usually felt scary, rather liked having conversation with them. So at that time, she was not so surprised at him.
    She found he was a friendly guy liking jokes and looked having interests into her, but was not so pushy. She was enjoying the conversation with him. After waking for a while together, he asked her number, and she gave it him. He called her several times because he wanted to see her again. But they never saw. She had been pretty busy. One day, when sarfing internet she suddenly felt like googling him. She thought it would be fun.
    But it pretty shocked her. One page showed up with a list of the result of searching was a wanted list. It seemed police posted it on, and the face with his name was exactly same as the guy’s one. He was not as a serious suspect as others, but it kind of terrified her.
    She had quit contacting him later realizing how dangerous it could be even if they look nice. I also learned it is not right to judge people by their appearance and behavior at first time. We do not know what they are thinking actually. Especially, foreigners need to be more careful when encountering a stranger.
