The Approachable Guy

I cannot figure it out, but anywhere we go, people approach John for help. This is not just in the US but honestly anywhere we have traveled. Mostly, they are looking for directions, and John is often able to help as he researches each place so well.

He is also often approached by students who want to practice their English and will always partake in the same interchanges to help them learn English -- "where are you from", "do you like music", "what is your name" and so on.

Kids and dogs also love him. I know why! Even if he looks like an awkward giant. :)

  1. Because he's always happy and friendly!
    (But he does look like a giant in that picture!)

  2. It's because he looks trustworthy. He looks welcoming to others, meets their eye, smiles, is relaxed and unhurried. What a great guy! Even his in-laws like him👍 I hear his wife is pretty nice,too!

  3. Or keeps bacon in his pocket. (Remember Jack Nicholson in "As good as it gets")

    1. Bacon. Now I understand it all. I didn't remember that scene but I will look for it online. Can imagine, though!
