Yep, people are friendly here and in most places I've been (except in bigger cities like Toronto where a lot of folks just keep their heads down, but you'll always find exceptions). I find you get what you put out. If you're friendly, folks respond in a like manner. Homo Sapiens is essentially a social animal.

Cha Cha, I loved Glasgow when I was there. Stayed with friends in Barrhead for several weeks a couple years ago and got into Glasgow several times. Folks were always friendly I found. Lots couldn't place my accent though; they knew I wasn't a Yank, but not many had guessed Canuck. Maybe they were more used to the southern Ontario accent...
