Oppositely Dominating

When at home there are many things in common between us and the masses, thus we tend to highlight our differences. When abroad, away from home, the differences between us and the masses loom large so that  in meeting fellow countryman we can easily strike a conversation. We focus on similarity, brushing aside the very difference that we would be highlighting if we were home.

But, there are places in which that is not the case. We tend to be indifference or even avoid contact. Another similarity could be at play here, or could it be driven by another need? London seems like one such place.
