I agree with the other entries that it is interesting to learn about how friendly people are in Hispanic cultures. When people say hi to strangers on the street and kiss people when they are greeting them, it immediately sends a positive energy. While these types of friendly jestures are less common here in the United States, they still exist. Texans are known for being very friendly people. While they may not kiss people when they see them, it is not uncommon for someone to wave to you in their car or as they pass you on the street and offer a smile. Some people even say hi in passing. I have always viewed Texas and the South as being very friendly cultures and now that I have learned about Spanish-speaking cultures there is a strong parallel. It is interesting to see the aspects of our culture that is both similar and different from Hispanic culture.
