Answer

Maybe in their culture,it is implite to ask a stranger too many questions.

Answer

I have visited a number of different countries and I would say that the problem has nothing to do with nationality or culture. Bofore speaking to a strange you should clearly see if he/she has time, interest to speak to you. And why to speak to a man first at night or in the evening? Isn't it better for a lady to speak to a lady first? As for Turkish people, I found them very friendly and sociable.

Answer

I would suggest  to don't make a rule out of a single episode; some other person
might reciprocate better your interest in sharing a conversation;

Answer

First rule dont talk to stranger.
