WOW. AWESOMENESS.
Good points. Although I just loved Madrid, that's where I felt the least welcome and where people seemed more gruff to others. It's a more abrupt style with strangers or something. It may just be they're direct...and that's cool. I would go back there in a second - so I don't mean I have anything against the area or it's inhabitants. 
By far, the most beautiful people I've come across are in Amsterdam - just gracious, welcoming, polite, helpful, engaging, open. LOVED.
Right behind Amsterdam would be Denmark - again, just super open, conscientious, lovely people. |
I grew up in the South, polite was in
But I guess we judge manners by our culture and how we were raised. I moved to a big city as an adult, never have liked it. I find a lack of manners here. People in the stores even are pushy.. forget the roads!! So.. when we spent one day in Madrid I really did not notice the people as rude, but Wylie you are right in that they were to themselves. My dh got very ill on the public transport.. no one even blink an eye.. later I had a melt down and one gentleman stoped to be sure I was ok. I think the same would happen on the streets of a larger city in usa.
sorry to go off track..
