altough they are a bit cold if they dont know you
Of course. How should one be warm if you don`t know who you are dealing with??? What if you encounter a rightist party supporter????
That is why I also prefer to be cold in the beginning and warm up to the person after I get to know her/him better and am aware they are decent intelligent people who don`t vote for rightists or nationalists.
I suppose it is a completely normal approach here in Poland.
