Conversation on moving to the Czech Republic:
T: There's a lot of hold-over from the Soviet days here. Gray buildings, beaten down people.
Me: Is it totally depressing???
T: Not at all. But nobody smiles at each other on the street.
Me: Would I be comfortable there? I mean... I smile at everyone on the street. It's almost a nervous habit, really....
T: You'd be fine. I mean, you might want to tone it down a little, in general....
Me: You're saying the people there wouldn't like me?
T: No, no. They'll love you. But I think they'd be annoyed by your optimism.
