The Opposite of Angry

A nice follow up to our earlier post about American's angriest cities is this report by Reader's Digest of the world's most courteous cities.

Somehow New York made it to the top of the list.

Suppress your guffaws and consider your travels abroad. In general don't Europeans (for example) tend to be aloof? If not aloof, indifferent? I don't think it's that they don't care; more likely they just won't help a stranger unless asked.

Or maybe it's unwise to generalize. What do you think?
