Giovanni put it in a slightly different way than I would, but he's right, it's the same for Westerners looking at Chinese.

When Samson approached me in the bus, my initial thought was 'why is this guy coming to me?'. Then it twigged and I knew it was Samson.

The net result was we talked too long without watching where we were and I (and my family) got off the bus four stops too late. So we had to walk back! Never mind, it was a good conversation.

And an amazing coincidence. Hong Kong is a big city with thousands of buses and we don't live anywhere near one another. It just goes to show, how many 'near misses' must happen in real life!
