It is liberating to them, a great unburdening becuase to them to speak your mind freely has been made into such a risk it feels almost alien.

It is also a dare. As I said, to be outspoken to a foreigner it is as if it doesn't counts as (or feels as) thought crime, and it is also a way of discovering it can be done.

I often feel something similar to that. I'm much less careful outside Canada and the US. In Sweden, outside professional circles, I wasn't very careful at all. As a foreigner the same rules don't apply.
