Taiwan. Clerk at the shoe store didn’t have what I wanted in my size. She went to the other shoe stores nearby searching for me without telling us. We found out when we asked why it was taking so long.

Iceland and nowhere even comes close. I heard newfoundland will beat it though, one day I’ll visit.

Mongolia.

Every single people I met were nice and friendly. Even when they don’t speak english, they will try anything to help you, or find someone that speak english.

south africa, really just a great group of people. hell, even when i got robbed, they were super nice about it.

I found the people in Jordan were incredibly friendly.

China, Taiwan, and just EA Chinese people in general are beyond nice. This past trip made me see how straight forward and warm hearted they really are and such strong family values.

I’m a white American.

Most friendly: Portugal. They seem to be a happy bunch in general, and they all seemed excited to have visitors. Lisbon, Cascais, Lagos, and all the little towns in between.

Least friendly: Iceland. They could just be less open and emotionally expressive with strangers, but unless it was a business transaction I was frequently ignored when I said hello and people seemed uninterested in having a conversation.

Ireland is probably the friendliest I’ve been too. The Irish are great people.

Rome (I know, not a country, but I can’t comment on the rest of Italy) is probably the least friendly place I’ve been to. Romans are assholes. It’s a very cool city, but the people, especially outside of tourist traps suck.

The Japanese are very polite, respectful, and helpful (almost to a fault) but I’m not sure if I’d generally describe them as friendly.

Australia, they are all just Koala friendly.

Definitely Scotland. They are antithesis to the English. Super friendly and welcoming. I have been around a lot in Europe never have I been struck by the German nature after I returned from Scotland.

French Polynesia. Genuinely the kindest and most down to earth people on the planet. My husband and I had the most amazing and hospitable experience there staying in a detached room (treehouse style) with a local family. The locals are so friendly - we were given food, helped with getting a rental car (they even gave us a ride there and spoke with the guy behind the counter), told of all the best places to explore, taken to the farmer’s market, and so much more. We were treated like visiting relatives.

Friendliest country I’ve ever been to was Cuba. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful with anything we could want. Malaysia was a close second.

Least friendliest was Belgium, but I went as part of a school exchange trip, so I was pretty much always in a large group of mostly teenage Americans with a few teachers. Understandable why people might not have been as friendly.

Mexico, but we were in a touristy area so kinda expected. But naturally nice was St. Thomas. Virgin Island people in general except Jamaica. I haven’t experienced a “rude boy” sorta speak, but has friends in Florida from there that warned me to be wary of any Jamaican outside of the tourist spots.

Oman

Most friendly: Namibia probably.

Least friendly: UK.

Some context: Live in Scandinavia, and been in all those countries. Other countries I’ve been to: Chile, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium (technically, walked across the border from Netherlands), Austria, South Africa, Zambia, Kazakstan.
