Quoting Deli_kizin: "who acts well towards others, will receive that same goodness". |
This is exactly what I am saying. I have wandered in many turkish cities so many times, always finding a reason to chat for and people to smile to, and never (and I mean NEVER) got a negative response. Only once, last month, I visited Kapalı Çarsı in a really bad mood, asking about what i wanted to buy in a very serious way and it was the first time i saw numb people and straight faces around me.
So, I don't agree with you, where you say that this doesn't work for Turkey yet. A warm smile works everywhere and softens even the most moody faces.
Meltem has mixed a little bit this warm smile I am talking about, with the stupid laugh of some women. I don't mean that you have to humiliate yourself by laughing like an idiot to anybody. I m talking about that kind of smile that is polite and warm. It doesn't say "flirt me I m easy". It says "hello, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?"
