What to make of this?

So I go on fb this morning and I see that I have 1 message in my inbox. Okay. I click on it, and the message is from this guy "Oki longtenletterlastname" and the subject title says "hai". It says just this:

[Hai,iam oki.can us friendly,sorry i can not speak english,iam from indonesia,nice look your photo]

I sit there completely blank-faced....... "wth?!"
So obviously, I have no idea who this guy is and naturally I click on his name (and his profile picture, btw, is a lilypad floating on the water with no lily on it) and it shows absolutely nothing except that he has 3 friends. 3 friends. Either he's a newbie, or ............. well... suspicion!!

In a fit of paranoia, I go to my settings>privacy and make sure everything was friends locked. I'm confused about the Profile setting- what exactly does it show? My dp, my name, anything else? Because only my Profile and Basic Info was no "friends only", I think it was some networks and friends.

What am I supposed to reply?! My friend immediately said "You have a stalker hitting on you!" aaaaaaaaaaah creepy but I'm wondering how the hell did he come across me since he's from Indonesia?! Unless he's part of the McGill network, which would be really creepy. But- Indonesia! Don't get why he'd send such a random message to a random person........
The other reason I came up with was that he really likes trees? I like trees! ... and then my friend mentions "tree fetish" and that just completely turned me off...

  2. HAHAHA that's so funny! asian food? lots to talk about XD but did you actually reply "no"?
    and was the second guy wanting to bond over asian food too?

    ...actually, I have a fb friend who requested me from a discussion board in the Miyazaki films group.. she's this asian girl from the UK

  3. the thing is...if it was email, penpal's fine
    but bonding over fb sounds too risky: the othe person could potentially see your pictures, bithday, etc...... and I would feel bad if I concealed it from them if I added them on fb. the thing is just too much
