Actually, this is typical European mentality and the people from different countries including America have different mentiality as well. They all have good and bad personalities/characters thatīs how they were being raise to expose by their parents... We Europeans and Americans see different. Itīs normal...
We (Europeans) visit other countries as tourists... we made friends and chat each other because we stay at same hotel for 2 or 3 weeks...
Another Example:
Americans see their view over Europe... They have their own POV what they think and see different...

Thatīs why I want to make sure everything to learn about their culture, mentality, tradition, customs, etc. before I visit there because I want to respect them to aviod embarrassment and feel being disrespectful. It doesnīt mean that they are unfriendly but thatīs just their different mentalites... Like what someone said that French is snob and other said that Japanese is unfriendly, other said that Germans keep themselves... (yes, true), Russians..., Amreicans talk with strangers to say hello, how are you, they never see before, etc. etc. etc.
