Pretty much. This is the way I look at it, if I'm going to spend my precious time with you, I'm going to try my darndest to make a real connection with you.
I feel like I can build rapport quickly because I'm naturally curious, so I try to figure out what you're into and then I focus on that and try to learn more about whatever you're into (as long as I'm actually interested in it), which means I can ask you engaging intelligent questions.
And because I'm genuinely curious about things, I feel like I create a pretty natural social environment for people. This might be the reason why people feel comfortable around me. I'm also a pretty nice guy =D
With interns it's even easier because I'm in the position they want to be in, so when i go out of my way to talk to them they get real buddy buddy quickly because the other people in the office just give them that surface level, "Hey, how's it going, are you enjoying yourself, where you from, that's cool, yeah, etc." That conversation lasts about one minute and it's just a formality and everyone knows it. It's very rare I'll ever ask someone how's it going, I think that's the most useless question to ask anyone. The answer is always going to be some variation of, "I'm good" and people know it's just a formality and you don't really care how they're doing.

Depends on what you think rich is, but he said his mom put a down payment on a brand new pre-sale condo (one bedroom) in Metrotown for him. He's also a mainlander, so without knowing anything else about him, I stereotype him as pretty rich. I've never met a "poor" mainlander in Vancouver.
