I almost forgot to share this odd story.
So I am on the train to Vila-Real. There is a guy whose seat is facing the other way and while just looking around the train our eyes meet for a second and he raises his eyebrows. I turn to look out my window.
Later he gets up and moves his bags so they are across the aisle from me and then he looks at me and asks me if he can sit in the seat next to me...there are like 4 other people in our train car so there is no need to sit near me. I just look at him like you can, but please don't. He does.
I just look out the window. Eventually I kinda look over half way and he is just staring and smiling at me. I have my headphones in, but he says something to me. I take one out and say "what"
Him: "Are you sad?"
Me: "No"
Him: "Are you sure, do you have a problem, can I help you?"
Me: "No. I do not have a problem."
Him: "Am I bothering you?"
Me: "A little. Yes."
I turn back out to the window. It was just a very weird thing and I didn't really want to deal with him. I hear him talking still so I take out a headphone again.
Him: "Where are you from?"
Me: "US"
Him: "ah, American..."
Me: "Yes."
Him: "That is close to Canada right?"
Me: "Yes."
Him: "I have a brother there. He has been there for 6 years."
Me: "In Canada?"
Him: "Yes. It's kinda far from Morocco"
Me: "Oh, so you are from Morocco"
Him: "Yes. What are you doing in Spain?"
Me: "I live in Avila and go to school there."
Him: "And you are traveling alone."
Me: "Just for right now"
Him: "Are you going to Barcelona"
Me: "Vila-Real"
Him: "Oh, I bet you have never been to Morocco"
Me: Actually I was there in February."
Now the train is at my stop and he moves so I can get my back and leave. He waves and smiles at me as I exit...super odd experience. Maybe it isn't that strange, but as a girl traveling alone to an unknown place, I was kinda bothered. What has become of this world? haha.
