Since we just had the friendliest, let’s look at the opposite. Not exactly the one with the rudest locals but the unfriendliest, be it scams, pickpockets, aggressive touts, unfriendly environment, or bad service.
I’m a woman in my mid-30’s. I’ve visited Egypt once, for two weeks.
I’m pretty sure half the gropings of my entire life were during those two weeks.
USA. Oh, wait. I’m not a visitor but a resident.
For now. Deportation is right away the corner brœther. They’re gonna send me back to Honduras (thats a joke, I am not in actual fear of being deported)
My partner is a refugee from a dictator country. I’d like to join the protests, but we’re very deliberately not doing so to protect her. That’s because I’m afraid for her safety. She a recognized human rights advocate who has been jailed. I’m selfish and want to keep her with me.
I’ve traveled to dozens of countries and never met unfriendly people - unless I was in a bad mood and forgot a smile and a few nice words.
Chile. Maybe it’s because I’m American but nobody there was interested in talking to me, sharing their culture or learning anything about me. I tried multiple times but all my interactions with Chileans were purely transactional and most of them seemed annoyed to have to deal with me. I’ve been to ~25 countries and wouldn’t bother returning to Chile.
USA 100% Ive been all over Europe, and to central America and the USA (I’m Canadian). The USA is by far the unfriendliest.
I feel like there are two types of people you meet in the US: people who are very polite but hold hate in their hearts, and people who are very rude but are very kind when you get to know them.
Yes, but we’re willing to share them.
Seriously.
Go to a range, talk to someone about their guns, and most of the time they’re more than happy to let you try them.
All of my UK/EU coworkers that fly here for business meetings always ask me to take them to the ranges here, they LOVE it because they don’t get to do it over there nearly as easily apparently. Everyone has a great time.
One guy from Poland wanted to take a spent casing back as a souvenir, but he said they have dogs that detect any gunpowder residue and didn’t want to risk going back with it.
