Although I felt judged (she thought I was Buddist because I was asian), put down (because she was implying that i was going to go to hell if I don't believe in God? What on earth? I am catholic and I did tell her that but she was still trying to convert me) and missed my bus (i had to wait another 30 mins for the next one to come) I was slightly amused by the situation. From then on I avoided talking to people trying to convert me (they always hang around bus stops and train stations) But there was that one time when I talked to this nice old man who told me tons of good stories about his past. He seemed quite lonely but brightened up after I talked to him until my bus came. I guess you have to take a risk talking to strangers. They can teach you a lot of things but knowing the right ones to avoid (old people advertising religion especially) can also save you a lot of time.
