Thailand definately, everyone is kind, considerate and respectful, even when they're angry or don't like you.\nPeople offer you favors out of the blue just because they took the time to notice that you need help.

The UK.  Definitely.  They even disagree with us sometimes and that is a true friend.  But, they watch our back and try to support us.  Unless they think we are in the wrong.  I don't know about you, but I want a friend to tell me if they think I am wrong.  \n\nAustralia backs us with blood, sweat, tears too.  But they have just a little too much of a tall poppy complex about us.\n\n\nJapan's friendship is completely fake.  It's something like when the company kissass tells the boss he has a nice tie.  It means nothing.  They would turn on us so quick...\nThey need us and so they appease us but i can tell you I witnessed with my own eyes two Japanese salarymen laughing with delight on Sept 12th 2001, at the replays of the planes crashing into the twin towers.  And after living there for five years, I got an overall idea about them.

Excellent, they dont have prisoners from England like Australia, their lands are not polluted like Europe or the USA, their people are very simple in thought,but a strong literate society.Beautiful country and lots of lamb steaks!

I've done travelling throughout Europe and North America and today I would think that Canadians are the friendliest towards tourists and immigrants.  In general, the Brit's tend to be more conservative and yet are open and curious about other cultures.  A couple of years ago I would have said that Australians would win this little contest but there seems to be a growing climate of rascism which is frightening. Many people from the U.S. tend to be unaware of global cultures and politics and yet can still come across as arrogant.  One of the biggest differences between Canada and the U.S. is that the U.S. considers itself a "melting pot" of different cultures while Canada sees itself as a mosiac, where cultures can co-exist independantly.  I think there's a lot of factors to consider before this could really be answered. ie: people in large urban areas tend to be far more accepting of different nationalities than those in rural areas, people who have directly experienced acts of terror tend to be a little less likely to be open with strangers (to put it mildly), etc.  Interesting question.

I'm British, but I think Aussies are friendlier. Some British people can be rude and too private. Not to put my country down but I wish some people here were a little different.

India!\n\nIt is an incredible place filled with so much culture. As diverse as we believe we are in America, you see a much broader diversity in beliefs there. Not only would I love to teach there, I feel that by teaching students, I would be learning so much myself. I had the priviledge of visiting a school in India. (I'll try to attach a web address to see the pictures, but I'm not much of a techie.) The curiosity the children had was contagious. They wanted to know more and more about my country and my life. Just as I couldn't stop asking them to describe theirs. There was a tenderness about the people I met in India. A gentle relaxed nature that allowed them to stop and listen with an open mind. This is when learning can take place. When you are open to other possibilities besides those you are accustomed to. I love this question as much as I love the thought of going abroad to teach. Thank you for letting me think on this one!

I spent 30 months as a missionary in Italy.  I love the country and the people, though I didn't at first.  At first I only saw the dirt, the decay, the poverty, the hedonistic philosophy.  After a while I came to appreciate them as open, loving, outgoing, family oriented, generous, kind, and warm.  Individuals do have their faults - we all do, and some are more lovable than others, but on the whole I love them.
