    Why do most people in Asia not greet you with a smile or a "hi" on the streets? Is this their culture, or are they shy?

    Why would I smile or say “hi” to a complete stranger I come across on the street?

    They’re not part of my family.
    They’re not my friend.
    They’re not a coworker.
    They’re not an acquaintance.
    They’re not even a neighbor.
    I have no business with them.

    Again - why would I smile or say “hi” to a complete stranger I come across on the street?
