A stranger defined

The following text comes from an essay written about East London by freelance writer named Erica Johansson.

"A stranger is simply a friend you have not got to know yet. What lies between are openness and contact. It does not matter whether you are in London, Lisbon, La Paz, Laos, Lesotho or Long Beach. Cross that boundary line. Maybe you will get a nice chat, prejudices confirmed or refuted,
another viewpoint, a new friend. Your travel experiences will however be richer in many ways. "
