    I think you have to be careful when applying a description to an entire group of people, let alone an entire country. While I have run into my share of rude people, I have come into contact with far more friendly and helpful people. I believe,it is a matter of whom you choose to remember. A second thing to consider is where you are when receiving services. Restaurants and retailers are both places where a lot is expected of people for low pay. Another consideration is your expectations. I have worked places where I have had to deal with the public. Some people want you to do every little thing for them. Of course they are not going to get the friendliest response, when we expect people we come in to contact with to be able to do a lot of things for themselves. I also think that being around someone for an hour or so, is not enough time to judge wether or not they are truly rude. You only get a glimpse of that person. For example, I would think you were rude and inconsiderate if I judged you by this email alone. It has been a while since you posted, so I hope by now you have had a much better impression of our country.
