Since we had a post about the most friendliest countries, we should look at countries that have unexpected friendly people, not the usual answers like Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, etc. For me it’s Montenegro. Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.
Netherlands. People there actually smile, it’s crazy
And honestly the US. When I moved to Vancouver Island I started spending a lot of time on the Olympic peninsula and people in that region are ridiculously friendly. Port Angeles is like twice as friendly as Victoria it feels like
My answer, too. I remember being uncertain how I’d be received as an American. I stopped in a random restaurant once to ask for quick directions. The lady didn’t just give me some “fuck off”/simplistic “go that way” answer, she walked from behind the counter, came around, took the map I was holding out of my hand, and spent SEVERAL minutes explaining to me in perfect English all kinds of helpful info.
I loved that place.
If avoiding conflict was a sport, a random person from Seattle would take home gold from the Olympics every four years.
