Europe has its share of miserable places, although the beautiful far outweigh the not so good. Some countries, especially Greece, are now suffering.<br /><br />@SG - The days of US immigration greeting a foreigner are long gone.

The more i grow older, i am more fascinated by India with all its harms and charms. But i would love to just visit once. This is written for a contest as you can see i have linked in the end.<br /><br />You are right about the attitude and manners. A smile or a greeting can do wonders. It exudes warmth.

If you are a foreigner on a tourist visa, they will say “Have a nice time here”. They don’t say these in any of the European airports.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-62591523496449920832013-09-01T17:25:41.286-07:002013-09-01T17:25:41.286-07:00Europe is great for visiting only and enjoy natura...Europe is great for visiting only and enjoy natural scenes and architecture. But, please do not plan to live there. Having lived in USA for many years, I can tell only from an American’s perspective. For example, in Europe, most service personnel (sales clerks at the shopping mall to restaurant waiters to taxi drivers) are rude and have an attitude problem. You can witness in USA, service people will always greet you with a big smile and when you are leaving they will always say “have a great day”. Yes, I know it is fake. But, at least, this will make the customer happy.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.com
