Since we had a post about the most friendliest countries, we should look at countries that have unexpected friendly people, not the usual answers like Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, etc. For me it’s Montenegro. Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.

    Paris. I’ve always heard bad things about Parisians but they were cool. The only rude people I encountered were tourists.

      Im planning to visit Paris soon in a few weeks so hearing this is really helpful! I don’t speak French well and have been trying to get better before the trip. But was worried I’d be treated rudely for it from all the stories I’ve heard. Glad to know they’re just stories

        Don’t worry! Say “Bonjour” when you go in a place and say “Merci” when appropriate, don’t be loud in general, and everything will be fine.
