    canada. people don't spit in your face, can't carry a gun, are commonly friendly, don't smoke (like, they pretty much have to quit because of all those new smoking laws), don't live in poverty at all, no war, its a free country, and also because canada is one of the most rich countries so they are...well...i don't know if that counts, but i've noticed poverty turns people kinda mean.

    i've been to russia, and almost everyone treated me like shi*. i mean no harm, but the washrooms stunk, you had to pay to have 1 square of thin toilet paper, and the streets were very dirty for some reason. oh and people learn to not hold the door open for anyone, even if your right behind them!

    in hong kong, if you walk down the streets and your being all nice and polite, they don't care. they will just push you into the street if you don't be agressive and push back.

    in china, when i was shopping, i left some change because of the excellent service, and this confused sales lady comes racing through the market looking for me, and when she catches up to me, she insists i left it by mistake and to take it back.

    different countries have different customs, but it doesn't mean they are mean or bad people. i'm sure if you grew up in russia, you'd think everyone were complete wusses if you visited canada!

    Source(s): i live in canada and have noticed these things when i travel.

    The United States. People are just plain rude in this country. If you drive 5 miles below the speed limit they are right on you like vultures. They are the most impatient, arrogant, rudest people I've ever met but I live in Alaska and the average IQ here is about 60.

    In Guam, it really is unlawful for a lady to marry if she's a virgin. it really is unlawful for a guy to marry if he isn't any longer a virgin. there's a State worker whose pastime that is to deflower any virgin on request the nighttime earlier her wedding ceremony. the classic length of employment in this post is basically 3 months and it includes the drawback that even after retirement the place of work holder isn't allowed to marry in Guam. besides the undeniable fact that, there's a lengthy waiting list both for the deflowerer-in-chief and his deputy. Guam isn't an equivalent possibilities organization.
