No...no we're not. Obviously depends where in Europe. I'm Belgian and for the past 5 years I've lived in Canada and it still freaks me out when total strangers say good day or nod hi to me on the street. When I'm at the grocery store or any store really the cashiers are always extremely friendly and have big smiles, something I'd never seen before. Now granted I'm from Antwerp, Belgium which has a NYC attitude but people were just as sour in Paris or any other major european city I've been to with the exception of maybe London.


And for crying out loud, us Belgians invented fries (it's only called french fries cause of the verb to french meaning the way they are cut) and Mayonaise is what goes on it.

Not having to pay to use the toilet in any truckstop/diner/fast food joint rocks.
Having to pay 10c for a pack of McChicken sauce (not even real Mayonaise) at McDonalds sucks. I don't care that the ketchup is free.

Of course I'm talking about Canada. Wouldn't know about the US.

Canadians are more civilized than Americans, except for the weird habit of traveling with visible Canadian flags all over their clothing/hats/backpacks. This is not civilized.
