I think it's because Americans are more open and willing to meet new people. They're not as reserved.

Hey same thing happened to me once! I went down an elevator and some random stranger asked me if I wanna see him pull me some magic! I said why not and he amazed me with the coolest card trick I've ever seen!!! To answer your question, I think Americans choose to trust people. They won't doubt a thing you said until they find solid proof you're guilty. It's a really sweet quality, helps outsiders like me blend in real quick.

I was really surprised when I went to Japan, I would always say good morning and say like "it's hot outside!" And they would kind of just look at me like I was crazy. I'm not American but I think most of the western world has a similar culture of "small talk".

Depends on where you are in the US too. I live in Seattle and we don't like small talk very much :)

Yes they have take names at Starbucks (and other coffee shops). So many people go there and order similar drinks so it is a lot easier to take names. I hope you enjoyed Seattle though!

Sounds like a good trip!
I became interested in Japan when I was very young, I noticed many shows and games I liked were from Japan. Seattle also has many Japanese events, such as Aki Matsuri, Bon Odori, and a Shinto shrine with many events throughout the year. In 2008 I went to Tokyo and enjoyed it very much! I hope I can go back to Japan and visit more places.

You can enjoy all day!
