Ireland is probably the friendliest I've been too. The Irish are great people.

Rome (I know, not a country, but I can't comment on the rest of Italy) is probably the least friendly place I've been to. Romans are assholes. It's a very cool city, but the people, especially outside of tourist traps suck.

The Japanese are very polite, respectful, and helpful (almost to a fault) but I'm not sure if I'd generally describe them as friendly.

Romans are assholes.

First time I've heard this. People in Rome are like people in NYC: busy with their own lives, unwilling to take any BS, but generally helpful if you really need it.

I've only met one person from France in my life. It was at a music festival here in the states. I asked him if he knew where a specific stage was and through that thick French accent he said "go fuck yourself" and then walked away.

Obviously a sample size of one doesn't represent a whole country but yeah.

My experience is they're roughly as polite as Parisians
