I grew up in a really commercialized country, Singapore, where most smiling faces are meant for manipulation. I am really sick of it. There's not forests or mountains in Singapore to escape to.8
I like waiters in certain parts of Europe in the sense that they are very real. When they are in bad moods, they will probably go like:" Go away. I don't want your money".If they are in good moods, they might even give you freebies.

Of course I do, but I don't consider the OP thread as being a genuine impression, it's a generalization. I do not agree that all smiles in Singapaore are manipulative (I've been there); no generalization holds true, and it does not hold true for smiling faces elsewhere in the world. There will always be the manipulative smiles, shady/scamming smiles, and genuine friendly smiles. Maybe I'm just lucky, I run into genuinely friendliness and the accompanaying big smiles when travelling a lot more than the other sort. Lumping them in one negative basket is downright silly and to do so makes one appear tunnel-visioned and intolerant.
