During my travels I was definitely surprised at first just how effective that buying a beer for someone sitting next to you at a pub is for getting all sorts of information. It's definitely the cheapest investment you can make into having a great time abroad.

That depends on what kind of person you are. I could never do it. And if a stranger would come to offer me a beer I would be surprised and annoyed, and if he wouldn't stop pestering me I would quickly leave.
It's also a cultural thing, I don't think I'm that far from the norm here. We just don't do this.
