Good things about Guate

I recently traveled in Guate and wanted to post about the people. The Latin locals are very welcoming to guests and friendly. This made a great impression on me and made me love the country. The locals also seem happier in general than where I come from and less stressed out. That made my trip more refreshing. Of course the roadways are a different story altogether and I'm glad I didn't drive while I was there. Generally speaking it amazes me how having less money makes you happier and less stressed, but as humans we never get it, even though we know mentally that it is true.

I met some expats while I was there and they agreed, but I am curious if expats on this forum would agree. Another example I experienced while I was there is even when a server did a horrible job, I just didn't want to complain or get mad because they were so damn nice and didn't realize what horrible service they provided. I Never got a rude server.
