Sorry, Ldunlop, but I only reacted to what I read and it smacked of the usual anglo attitude. What you encountered was not dislike, but leg-pulling. I have lived in several countries, notably France, Belgium and Germany, as well as traveling extensively on both business and pleasure and never detected 'dislike' per se anywhere. Indifference, maybe, but never dislike. I guess you know the story of the friends who went off to live in different parts of the country and met a few years later. After swapping the usual pleasantries, one asked, "So, have you settled in the place?" "Oh, yes, fine like the people and get on well with them, a nice friendly lot. And how about you?" The former friend replied, "Well, I do not much care for the place I live mainly because the people are a miserable lot..." and he went on to explain what he found wrong. The story tells you nothing about the places where the two live, but a lot about themselves.
