Saying good morning to strangers on a walk

I remember, when I was a kid, the first time an older lady said hi to us on the street and I asked my dad if he knows her. He explained to me some people do that, usually the ones who don’t live in cities and everyone knows everyone. I thought it was so strange.

Now, when I’m out for a walk, I sometimes say “Good Morning!” even though I don’t know them. They smile and say Good morning!

It’s a sense of community. Do you sometimes do this, too?

The most friendly ones are people with a dog and neighbours.
