Sure - except after all these years I've only twice even detected someone being unfriendly... make that 3 times... In contrast I couldn't go a whole month in the UK without some unpleasantness with some cunt, and rarely an entire year without some element of violence.
My favorite example is when I first moved here, living in an apartment block. Arrived home late at night, with around a dozen young men sitting on the step I needed to get up. Pretty much anywhere in Europe that could be a tricky situation. Here they just moved to one side with big smiles and it was all "Hi boss, you lost is it? Where are you trying to go?" Once I said I lived there they damn near cheered with joy and some wanted to shake my hand.
