It depends where you are. Most people in Scotland are hospitible, but there are jokes about the Edinburgh people regards not offering food.
In Ireland, the people are fantastically welcoming. I think most folk put
on weight after a visit there due to the hospitality.
I find it sad what happened to you, there is a lot like that. I realised it
when I lived in London, I was shocked really.
In Philippines they know how to treat guests, even if they have little
money, they still make an effort. That's 1 of the reasons we will settle there some day. I love my wife's family.
