I found the friendliest people to be those working for tips in every country I went to.

Thailand.

We found the people to be amazingly friendly and helpful, especially so given some of the poverty we experienced in certain places.

Some years ago I was walking around Paris on my own. A young woman approached me and spoke French to me, I replied is English that I spoke and understood very little French. Not sure what her reply was but she disappeared into the crowd. I can only assume she was propositioning me.

Friendly and foreign? What's that? I've only ever been mugged by foreigners, had my loved ones murdered by foreigners. Foreigners are the one thing I stand against. A thousand times no.

You sound like a character from Agatha Christie's novels! laugh

They were always suspicious of foreigners at that time and poor Poirot had to deal with suspicions so many times just because he was Belgian. laugh

laugh

It's hard to pick a friendliest people, because I've met warm friendly people in most places I've visited, even England..innocent laugh

I think it's all about interacting and being genuinely interested in their country culture and of course trying the language at least a bit helps, show respect and usually it gets shown back....tip hat
