it's actually part of America culture for different social and friendliness,

I do understand because I travel almost half the world and know their different mentality and personality/character due culture background. Yes, American's friendly has nothing do with America's culture but person's own personality/character itself that's how they were being taught... I don't fuss about their mentality but respect what they are and find normal... I do not expect their friendly but accept what they are... To me, I don't see the difference when I was in USA.

Excuse me, you donīt know me but many ADers know me in real life. I would find weird if American stranger come to me to make hint "Hi, how are you?...." Itīs American way... thank God, they act normal and smile at me as same as I smile back to them like here in Germany

I found difference when went to Orlando for vacation, that where heavily tourists from UK went to Orlando for vacation during summertime and I found out that UK tourists are less friendly than American tourists when come with strangers, I had asked one of my friend and he said it's true. UK tourists are always goes with themselves. I had asked my parent about remember to visit London in 13 years ago, they said same thing, people in UK are more unfriendly when come with strangers too.

This is your POV.

Only problem, you aren't resident of US for many years,

I work together with Americans for over 23 years and know their mentalities. I was being taught to know Americaīs culture by school and learn a lot by American co-workers and also American Forum as well and also visit USA last year which is good enough for me to know Americaīs culture.
