Throughout Europe and the Mid East I've always found people (at least those not directly involved in my business) to be very hospitable. My digs have included hostels, inns, personal homes, 4-star hotels, and embassies so the hospitality I experienced was likely meted accordingly. People on the streets were always friendly, though (language attempts help alot!). And I was always impressed by the level of knowledge and wisdom possessed by the most humble of persons I met.
Also, there's something about an urban bar/pub in any city in the world (Riyadh excluded for obvious reasons) that I just love!
Cheers
