I have to say I knew no place without lots of nice locals. But, in my experience, the more educated the people, the nicer; the smaller the place, the nicer. But also there are many places where people who isn't nice do no effort to conceal the fact, and other places where people master that. It has to do with each and every person -in that case we are all alike- but it also has to do with the local culture.
The people I found they do the least to conceal they give a darn about their fellow men are French norte de la Loire and British youths -not nice in large percentage-. So Paris concentrated the larger fraction of uncomfortable events. That doesn't mean that Paris is not plenty of charmant people. Simply, don't ask directions or other piece of information to workers, public servants and shopkeepers (once you have paid your bill), just stand at a corner with a city map unfolded and a powerless look and soon a lot of nice people will swarm around you offering their help. But there are cities and cities: in Vienna I had to abandon that technique to avoid a crowd of old age pensioners trying to offer their help even without speaking any other language that dialectal German. They were of no help to me, but the charmest guys indeed. Anyway, the nicest people is in the middle of the country, isolated, in Argentina and in other large countries. They know the real meaning of hospitality. They are the salt of the earth.

No creo que fueran turistas. Más bien parecían personas que acababan de salir del trabajo, con prisa por llegar a sus casas, y sin ganas de perder el tiempo hablando con extranjeros.
Pero no pretendo generalizar. También encontré gente amable en Londres. |

Thank you for the corrections

Anyway, that is the very reason they are the nicest people in the world (not in my building part of a large city -local laws don't allow to subject a purchase to the community's approval-)
