There will be many interesting people on the streets. Sometimes, I would like to take a picture with someone so that I will have that memory for the rest of my life!
I'm afraid they'd be weirded out by me if I just wanna take a picture with them!
If you are the stranger on the street, in the park, or in a restaurant, would you mind that I just take a picture with you?
Well, we traveled to some new town days ago! There happened to be lots of foreigners from different countries! So, I ask some foreigners whose nationality is interesting to take a picture with me! Luckily, no one has said no yet, mostly, because I asked some people who seem kind! hehe
If a stranger ask you to take a picture with him or her, do you mind?

I probably would initially be flattered. Then, I'd become very suspicious, and would probably say "No, thank you".

You should doubt that cause there were people like you all around in your town!
If you visit a small town in China, for example, some people may wanna take a picture with you since they find it hard to come across with an American!It will be a very special memory if they have a picture with a foreigner! haha
That's the reason! :D

They are all some interesting foreigners. Some wore some strange hats...Some wore some weird clothes! I just thought it was great to have a picture with them whose nationality I had never heard before!:D
Take care!

If I wanna take a picture with you, it means you are special to me at a point! haha
I don't tend to take pictures with all people all over the world. :D
If you are a good person, I will be very happy to take a picture with you! hehe
Have a great day!

I would refuse because I hate having my picture taken but my husband regularly visits Coventry and has often been asked by tourists to have his picture taken with them, he's always happy to do this.

It's tourists from other countries that ask him. I don't think many English people would ask.

I will never let a stranger take my picutre especially if it is not a group picture. It is fine if it is a group picture. My husband is a foriegner. When we went for a trip with my husband and his parents some of the people wanted to take a picture of us. It was a hill statiion and there were many tourists. All of us pose for a group picture.

If a stranger would ask me to have our picture taken, I would definitely say no. I don't trust people easily because of the things that I've experienced. I don't even feel comfortable talking to strangers. There are lots of criminals out there that it has become difficult for me to trust people.

I don't think I would mind if a stranger would want a picture of me.I figure if the took one and the camera didn't break. They would need some kind of proof to show ugly I am. Now mind you it is getting closer to alloween. I always tell my kids and siblings kids that my skin turns green the closer it gets to Halloween. I already have the long pointy nose and witch like hair....black/gray mess.

haha, you are very humorous! I don't think you are half-bad! You just keep a low profile! Have a great day!

I would have no issues if someone asks me to have a picture taken with them. I don't even have issues if people take my pictures on the street without asking me. But, it just feels decent to ask. I think most of the people get paranoid when a stranger asks them to have a picture taken with them is because they do not know what you are going to do with the picture and uncertainty scares everyone. But again, what can you do with my picture taken on the street?

Nothing!
In our life, we come across lots of people all over the world! However, we will never ever see most of them again! So, if I take a picture with you, it will be a great meomory that I can cherish!
If you are a person who I have few chances to see, the picture is especially special! It's like a time card, which recorded the track of the past at a point!If I wanna take a picture with you, it means you are sort of special to me!
You look like a superstar; You are a friendly foreigner; You are an interesting person; You are knowledgable; Or you are just fun to talk with. All these staff may make me wanna take a picture with you!
Then, I will keep the picture in my album!Once in a while, I will appreciate it again!
That's it!
