World’s Top 10 Friendliest Countries
« on: September 24, 2011, 03:50:26 AM »
 
01. Ireland
Centuries of turmoil, conquest, famine and subsequent immigration  have certainly  taken their toll on the Irish: it’s left them with a deliciously dark  sense of humour and a welcoming attitude towards strangers. That famous  ability of the Irish to find craic (fun times) in boom or bust times  means you’re always in for a treat.
 Here is the list of top ten friendliest countries of the world, after the break…

 02. Samoa

  What’s this? Samoa reckons they have ‘the world’s friendliest people’? Hmmm, trouble is there’s no ratifying body for such a claim, meaning the Samoans have to contend with the challenge of Fiji, which also self-applies the title. Though readers can rest assured that Samoa harbours lovely and warm people.

03. United States
 
  Blamed  for the coming of World War III, the Anti-Christ, Bon Jovi, Tom Cruise,  Michael Jackson, rampant street crime and noise pollution through  overloud talking, Americans just take it all in their stride. Americans  may be patriotic and love their country but they’ll invariably welcome  you and help you get the best out of the United States.

04. Malawi
 
 Whereas  other African nations are beset by tribal war and fighting, Malawians  describe themselves as ‘the friendliest people in Africa. Anyone who’s  visited will know that the rare (for Africa) cohesion of the country’s  ethnic groups is solid evidence for this, as is the people’s propensity  to welcome you into their homes as well as their nation.

05. Fiji
 
  Fijians  have got plenty to smile about lush islands, kaleidoscopic reefs,  cobalt sea, a wealth of marine life, world-class diving, romantic  coastlines, awesome cuisine and they love to spread the love around.  Fijians have a rep for helping all travellers feel welcome, thereby  allowing you to uncover the best from this sprawling group of islands.

06. Indonesia
 
  It’s  hard to make generalisations about a country that contains so many  different cultures still, a cliché you’ll hear often is that Indonesian  people greet foreigners with open arms. Fact is they do, but the media  limelight is stolen by the knack of their law-enforcement officers for  welcoming drug dealers and bomb makers in an altogether different  ritual.

07. Vietnam
 
  Vietnam’s  another country inextricably caught up in Western images and  stereotypes: napalm death; tormented American soldiers; assassins hiding  in the rice fields. But Vietnam put all that behind it a long time ago  and is now on a drive to become the new ‘Asian’ tiger economy.

08. Thailand
 
  Southeast  Asia’s most-visited country is bound to offer up a welter of  stereotypes and clichès. Here are some of them: dazzling islands and  beaches; lush and balmy weather; great shopping and great food; the  ‘France of Asia’. The Thai people’s gracious hospitality does indeed  take some beating.

09. Scotland
 
 
 
  Scotland’s  becoming the destination for visitors to the British Isles, winning out  over London. The Scots have survived English invasion, brutal weather  and the pain of having the world’s worst goalkeepers. This fighting  spirit against insurmountable odds has left them with an extroverted,  buoyant demeanour and a blackly humorous nationalism.

 10. Turkey
 

 
 
It’s a  shame that for such a long time the Western world’s image of Turkey  revolved around the drug-smuggling film Midnight Express. Thankfully, we  can report the Turkish people actually have an unsurpassed reputation  for hospitality. With their heavenly cuisine, dreamy coastline and  historical sites, the Turks know there’s no reason to be secretive.
