Hi, How you doing? Have a nice day! You look beautiful! Thank you dear. Oops, I'm sorry. *Sneeze*-God bless you.



You might have an idea what all these words are. Yes, you are right that is the way Americans respond to you no matter what color you come from, you matter what race you come from, no matter what religion you practice, and no matter what country you come from, these are buddies without borders. 
Whenever I am going to my class, to a mart, to airport, to bank, or anywhere these friendly souls have always greeted me with a big smile on their face saying "Hi, How are you doing?" I don't even know them and then they end saying "Have a nice day!" It definitely made my day when I was really upset about one of my assignment. Now I say that to whoever I meet :)

Then you get a comment "you look beautiful". It just put a smile on my face. I think appreciating others is really good which is totally not a normal thing in Pakistan.
Then you sneeze and people in the whole cafe reply "God bless you". Awww. :)

When you do something or just give them a way, they say "Thank-you dear". Thanking the other person can put a smile on their face.  It shows the other person that you appreciated and give them respect.

These are the small tokens of appreciation and love that I really admire in the Americans. It brings peace to your life. It made my day when I was down. I hope it makes yours as well.
