Social What Country Should I Visit?

[Satur9]

That‘s funny I wouldn‘t call murrkans gregarious, the opposite of gregarious even.
Gregarious to me are for example Greeks, Columbians or even French. Gregarious to me mean that they like to spend a lot of times in places like cafés, terrasses, bars, bistros, tavernas, etc.

Hmmm. My understanding of it is social and outgoing, which we are. I see more groups of people than solo. Could be wrong though, so I’m open to that.

I think you make a very good point. Murrkans are very outgoing and open to meeting new people, strike up conversations, etc.

I am not sure that I would call that being gregarious though, which to me is the propensity to actually spend time with other people in public places. For example, go to most random small cities and villages all over Greece, Colombia or Morocco, and as of a certain point in the evening you will see a significant percentage of the population outside in cafés/bars/sitting in parks just chilling.

You don‘t see that in Murrka where people go home after work. Public places by definition are not a part of Murrkan social fabric the way it is in many other countries, where the culture is, by contrast, gregarious.

Eh, idk. Either way, my point overall was that Italy, and Greece too really, are sort of similar people in the way they interact with others. To an extent. Just more outgoing and open to new people, without having them give you that cold exterior you might have to chisel away at It can help going to a place that isn’t so strange for your first trip or two overseas. Though I think it best to jump into the deep end and just be open to the confusion.
