...I don't know why this question came to mind and it's not directly related to travel, but...
When is an acquaintance no longer an acquaintance, but a friend?
I feel whatever criteria I subconsciously used before to make such distinctions have only become blurred as I've grown older, or maybe it's a part of living the expat lifestyle where everything is transient....?
Would be interested to hear people's thoughts on this....
