Welcome to Kerry's Kongquest! In this blog, you can ask questions about other cultures that you always wanted to ask but didn't have the guts to. The same goes for people from other countries: if you have been wondering why American people behave in a certain way, post a question. This blog will better your understanding of other cultures and enhance your appreciation for diversity. Enjoy! **One & only rule: after you answer a question, please ask a question!!**
Smiling, even at strangers, is a tradition in my small hometown in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
