I walk up the same road evryday on my way to school and i see the same people walking to the train station. I often smile at them, as if you see them everyday, its just friendly and polite. But, even thought its just a smile, i never get a response back at all, i usually get ignored and they turn their heads away. Why is this? Why dont us English be a bit more open and not judger people if they express emotion? A smile is free after all, and the stereotype is true, the english are conserved, and frankly sometimes rude.
After visiting america on a school trip i was astounded to see how many people started talking to us, and being really friendly. They think its normal, and why shouldnt it be? I got talking to a couple from Pensylvania for about 10 minutes, talking to them about school, and life in england etc. They were genuinly interested i what i had to say as well, they werent being nosey, just friendly.
I was just wondering what your thoughts are????
