Travelling alone, in pairs or in a group

I traveled alone from 2002 to 2015 for three years in Cuba, and then in South East Asia in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, India, including two trips of six months each, transiting almost always through Bangkok and visited almost all Eastern European countries from Helsinki to Thessaloniki in five memorable trips between 2009 and 2014. Before 2000, starting in 1967, I had traveled in a group or in pairs, getting to know the Italian members of the group, once only with a friend from Trieste, my Italian city The difference is that traveling alone is a full immersion in the country, but in reality more than getting to know the locals, you make friends with other foreign travelers traveling alone or as a couple because locals work and have no time to socialize or they do not speak foreign languates or they do not have money, while it is easier to make friends with other travellers whom you can meet in means of transport, especially buses and trains, ferries, during excursions, in bars and restaurants and in tourist villages where or in hotels. I met many Europeans (I prefer the Spanish and the French but also the Russians) then the Americans and Australians who are always cheerful and very sociable travelers and funny beacause they are great drinkers. On the other hand, I don't like the Germans, even though I speak their language, they are too serious and convinced of keeping the southern Europe on their shoulders while it happens the opposite because Germany lives on foreign workers sweat less paid and Germans generally work less and have the same debts as other countries but they cheat on their accounts and Brussel close both her eyes
