So true! Noone says hello just to say hello. My mom is in Ajax, Ontario and people are so friendly. Always chatting in lines and stuff. If I talk about it to people here, they're like "why? I don't know them. Why would I say hi?!" Funny how different areas are so different. \

My kids are in school now...English school and they have a lot of school spirit and parents seem really friendly, so I'm trying to get as involved as I can to get to know people that way, too.
