Aw, I don't like to say this and I know I'm more or less vilifying an entire part of the sub-continent, but the average Indian male has the manners and maturity of a 12-year old. Besides, I had far, far worse experiences in the North than in the South.Originally Posted by Babur

Re: What countries have the nicest people?
Well I'm sort of restricted to Copenhagen unfortunately. Went out last night and had a pretty good time. Although it's surprisingly difficult to find lots of people in bars or clubs if it's not a Friday or Saturday night.

Don't listen to him. Copenhagen is a very nice city and half of its populace is from Jutland or the other isles anyway. Where did you go?

I don't even know. I think we were down near the center of the city haha. I didn't pay attention to the names of anything we went into.

I think Sweden. Very helpful, polite, smiling without seeming unnatural, but it is perhaps cultural bias from my side.
Most countries have nice people in my opinion, it is just a question of where you go. The more "rural" regions always seems nicer to me than the urban ones, compare Alsace to Paris for instance, or London to the Lake District.
Re: What countries have the nicest people?
Indians are pretty nice. I've heard the Bhutanese are really nice, but I haven't been there so I can't comment personally. Italians are friendly, so long as they come from the north.
The biggest surprise for me was Britain. Despite me being British (well, half at least), I always dread going there because I thought people were too moody. Either they've changed in the last 2 years, or I had been mistaken the first time (most likely the latter). Granted, its a small town, so...

Nah, you're right. The English anyway. It seems that most of them are either patriotic to the point of insulting anyone from any other country, Football Hooligans, or they're Chavs.

Re: What countries have the nicest people?
Its depends where you go in Britain really. People outside of South East England are often considered friendlier.
It can also depend on where you are from. In my experience people from other so-called 'Anglophone' (US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia) countries are treated better then most (Probably because we have more to talk about)

tbh, I don't felt like Swedes were any different from most other European people, even a bit colder, unless when they are placed in an unnatural environment, such as Swedish tourists, they're awesomeI think Sweden.

I certainly hope the twang vs the forced "r" sounds and brogue would help give it away as well.

Well, Armenians of Armenia (Eastern Armenians) are different than Western Armenians, so make note of that. Eastern Armenians are a typical post-Soviet people, while the Western Armenians are rather different because it depends from what place they came from.most of Turks are friendly and I love them. I've met some Armenians they were good people too (but never been in armenia) also my own people, Pontic Greeks are good too (and no, I'm not nationalist)

Re: What countries have the nicest people?
Well, yeah, but because of the Texan. And I'd probably assume that the other one would be another American. Obviously there are various American dialects, but the majority seem to speak a kind of common American English, in which pronunciation varies from person to person, which makes it hard to recognise accents.Surely you can tell the difference between a Texan and a Newfoundlander
Peaceful agreement and government by consent are possible only on the basis of ideas common to all parties; and these ideas must spring from habit and from history. Once reason is introduced, every man, every class, every nation becomes a law unto itself; and the only right which reason understands is the right of the stronger. Reason formulates universal principles and is therefore intolerant: there can be only one rational society, one rational nation, ultimately one rational man. Decisions between rival reasons can be made only by force.

Re: What countries have the nicest people?
I would say no one country is friendlier....is that even a word?
Rather, in my experience it is the smaller towns folk that seem to treat others with more courtesy. Of course there are always exceptions to every rule but generally the large city people tend to have less tolerance for others - especially outsiders....

Re: What countries have the nicest people?
This is true. Most strong accents only exist in the countryside or historic districts/old money areas of cities.

The east coast of the U.S. isn't exactly a hippie commune, but the people are decent even if you have places Baltimore, where the people are depressed and/or shady, and the sun never shines, it's just bright in the sky and they don't know why.
