Just chatting up people in the streets. Or accidentally bumping into someone at a busy place. Or greeting a stranger who's walking by...

This may surprise you but you can talk to people that aren't smiling.

To me the smiles are noise. Just people putting a frown, because of fake it till you make it attitude.

Or even worse Business Mandated Happiness.

Well, I did say 'friendly', not 'smiling'. And having lived in both countries, I had a lot of chances to compare the experiences.
