When I just moved to New York from Jamaica, I had some serious culture shock "what? people don't talk to people they don't know? What's up with that?"
I remember how in Jamaica I would say "hello" to someone I did not know or would stop in the street to talk to someone I knew and for me thats just totally natural. So I get to NY and I see people in the elevator and I smile and say "hello" and they look at me, give me a fake smile and a weird look like "ok crazy I'm getting off at the next floor, move over"
What's up with that? Now my New Yorkers, don't get offensive. I am not saying that Jamaicans are better (because we already know that lol!) or Chinese people are better because they are friendlier (or just straight up inquisitive) but its something I've noticed and .... its my blog lol!
