Is it okay to smile at strangers in your country?

  1. Smiling, even at strangers, is a tradition in my small hometown in Kentucky.

    When I traveled to Russia, some of my Russian friends told me that they thought that Americans were insane and stupid for smiling so much! Also, they thought that the media depicted Americans as dumb. My friends said that they changed their minds when they actually met some Americans. According to my friends, in Russia, it is not normal to smile at strangers.
