My response was simple: smile, talk to them and take the time to listen. The language is really such a huge factor here. Like you said it usually brings an immediate smile to their face and from there you know you are in!

I watched what he was doing and then I left - and then I went back because what he was doing was so cool. He had stacks and stacks of them and if I understood him right, they actually paint them onto the wall - Super cool. Yeah – It’s awesome!
