You would think that conversation would be a normal human activity in which to engage. However, blatantly inviting conversation among strangers or “chatting” as my friend, Phil Durnford calls it, is a not only unusual, it’s frowned upon by officials in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Phil who defines himself as a “Joyist” and thus “the antithesis of a terrorist” initiated his “Let’s Chat” campaign in Calgary, Canada last year in attempt to discover what was available from talking to people in the public square. Although Phil appears to be totally normal, he is an elf in disguise bringing magic with him wherever he goes.
