I've discovered that it's not just our British pound sterling that increases in value when you're over in these parts. A smile seems to go so much further too.
If you smile at a random punter back home, most of the time you'll be ignored or get a look of 'what a bloody weirdo'. If you're unlucky (and in a bad part of town) you'll get chibbed. Every once in a blue moon you get a smile back.
Over here, smile at someone, and the very least you will get is a shy smile back. More likely, you'll get a big grin and possibly end up chatting to that person for the next 5 minutes, smiling and laughing the whole time, before moving on. And by god it does your mood no end of good, smiling all day.
Us Brits could learn from these guys.
