I wish the weather were so nice, and the people so friendly in Seattle. And only beer snobs are concerned about the head on their beers, as most people are drinking domestics and cheap microbrews directly from can or bottle.

I used to think it rude of baristas or burger clerks to check their phone while prepping my order, but instead now I check my phone at the same time. I think the key to it not being rude is to synchronize, so we all pop in and out of the conversation at the same time.

I've been living on the Eastside for almost half a year now, and I find people in the area extremely friendly. Also in Seattle.

I guess it's a matter of what we're comparing to. Compared to most southern Brazilian people, Seattleites are very, very friendly.
