During my visits to Cape Town - the locals were very friendly. I asked my friend if they are just friendly to tourists/foreigners - apparently, they are friendly even to those around them (locals they do not know personally).

It's refreshing for me as where I am - even some of my neighbours are not friendly. I remember taking a walk in the early morning in the area of Durbanville, a lady waved and wished me "good morning" - now if I were to say that to someone in my area - they'd look at me crazy!
