Bleu is SO right! Being from Texas, this is one (of many) things my husband and I have noticed. The people here are so much more reserved. It is absolutely the best being able to strike up a conversation with anyone around. We are normally very friendly and smile a lot.

Since being here, we have had to curb that sort of behavior. :(

I miss that so much...and people here don't smile much at all...I guess there's not much to smile about.
