it's the same pretty much anywhere you have a dense population. some people are rude and that is just life. i'm happy go lucky to an extent but everyone has their thresh holds.
americans can be just as rude. i deal with it every day just as every one else does in the big city. my point is though, that society as a whole, cares about each other and IMHO would do anything for anyone. maybe i'm naive but that's how i think. i'm one of those mr. nice guys i guess.
