Maybe I'm naive but it seems to me that if I don't want to wait in line at a restaurant, I can always eat at home or go outside of the villages. What about eating at different times? Are the restaurants always lined up or can I go for lunch at 2:00? It's been my experience that most people react to how others treat them, is it possible that some of the people in TV that have lived there a while are projecting their attitude and resentment to others? When you first move into an area, everyone is a stranger and the tendency is to try to make friends...once you have been there a while, you no longer have the need to accumulate more friends, you are quite content with the status quo..therefore you may not make the friendship efforts that you have in the past. When this occurs, you subconsciously miss the 'friendliness' that was there originally, when in all actuality you are partially responsible for it happening. If you want to test this theory, next time you are out and about, pretend you are new there...greet people you don't know with the same enthusiasm you used in the beginning...see if there is a difference. I can't wait to get down there...I will be a grinning, waving fool!
