Some cultures are very gregarious and lively. They like loud music, speak to each other loudly, etc.

Which cultures have you found to be more reserved? Not necessarily cold or rude, just not as loud in public?

    This story is believable.

    That said, while Kiwis aren’t huge small talkers, they can be very talkative, even with perfect strangers, in quite a few settings. It just usually isn’t for the heck of it.

    I’ve found Kiwis honest-to-God friendly and helpful, just not very boisterous and loud. Similar to Canadians actually. That’s why I love traveling from here in the US to Canada whenever I can; Canada reminds me somewhat of NZ. :)

      That’s true. We speak with purpose. You’ve got to hit the right topics that we’re passionate about then we’ll go on and on and talk your ear off 😂
