Miss_Cellaneous: So have you visited all these Countries? And if so, how long for?. Long enough to get some insight for you to judge?
Just asking for a friend
NZ does actually live up to its name..... I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Yet we still have our fair shair of the not so nice as every place does.
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!
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.
It's hard to pick a friendliest people, because I've met warm friendly people in most places I've visited, even England..
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....
