This reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother in-law! She was a "military brat" that lived all over the world for the first 20 - 25 years of her life, and has traved quite a bit since. She was in England and Scotland for a week a couple of years ago, and she commented on the same eye contact - talking to strangers thing. She said it was easier to engage a stranger in Riyadh than in the UK.
She had some thoughts on it, but honestly, posting them would be a 5 violation.
