Flâneur
A person that is able to saunter around and wander detached from society with no other purpose than to be an acute observer of his surroundings. He/she is deliberately aimless, just soaking in his surroundings through different perspectives. Perspectives that are untouched by others who see these surroundings as normal and don't even dwell on it.
Flâneur (pronounced flɑnœʁ), from the French noun flâneur, means stroller, lounger, saunterer, or loafer.
The flâneur was essential to any picture of the streets of Paris, a literary type from the 19th-century in France. Now flâneur has become an important symbol for scholars, artists and writers.

He is a real flâneur when he takes the bus; just staring out of the window and observing the normal but weird things humans do.
