I found that the people in Samoa were incredibly friendly. Some of them invited me in the taxi they took from the Robert Louis Stevenson's Museum back to the capital city. In Malaysia one dark evening I fell down a drain and hurt my leg. I will never forget the people's kindness. The Malaysian people took me back to where I was staying, the Swedish guy got me a pair of crutches and the South African lady got me some bandages.

Where have you found the local people friendly?
Have any of them been helpful to you?

When my father and I traveled to Canada, my father felt somewhat weak and nauseated when we disembarked from the plane, an airport personnel (a man) took a wheelchair and helped us, he took us down to the luggage area until we get our luggage and then took us to the waiting area where my sister and her hubby were waiting. I tried to give some amount to the man for his help and kindness but he declined saying it's ok and asked if we are alright before he left us. The people I ask there also are helpful and and friendly. I guess it's an act of kindness and friendliness coz in some airport, whenever an airport personnel assist you, they will expect that you will give money.

It was a shame that your father felt so poorly getting off the plane. The airport employee acted really kindly. I hope to visit Canada next summer. happy

I live in Canada and I can tell you it probably wasn't Vancouver where you found the friendly people, because that city is notorious for having a lot of reserved, snooty people. I've heard that from people back east, in different countries and I've heard people here admit to that though they don't know why. But then you will find friendly, pleasant people of all nationalities really. I do find that when I go to the Prairies, or even on the island that the people are much warmer and quite friendly, will just strike up a conversation with a stranger like that. As for overseas travel, I find that the friendliest people are always in the countryside, like in villages quite often, that is when they're not busy staring at you.:)

That is very useful information to share with us on here. I always try and think about how friendly local people will be when I am trying to decide on a holiday destination. It is always so much nicer to go somewhere where you are not made to feel like an outsider. I think that people in many parts of Asia are very friendly.

I had a very positive experience in Poland. On the plane from Denmark to Poland I met a girl from Malaysia. We started talking and when we arrived in Poland we went to the passport control together. We both had some problems and we didn't speak much Polish, but then a young men stepped forward and he helped us translate. He was very friendly and caring and he even taught us a few words in Polish before he left.

Four people had come to pick up the girl from Malaysia, and when she told them that I had to go to the busstation, two of them (a young couple) offered to drive me there. When we got to the busstation, they helped me buy my ticket, and they helped me find the right bus. They even wrote a note to the driving explaining where I was going. When they left, they gave me their phonenumber and offered to teach me the language and show me around in the area. Ihey were really friendly and I will never forget their kindness.

I look kindly on the Samoan people, all I have ever seen or read they are wonderful people.

I'm glad you found this to be true also.

I think its normal for every local people to have hospitality and kindness especially to people you are new to the place. In this way they can share it to someone even if its not from there own town or country. thumbup
