"Hello"

Shika here and I found this very cool! I found this article on the net......

A Swedish housing company announced a $137,000 campaign aimed at encouraging neighbors to greet one another.

The "Say Hi" campaign, announced by the MKB municipal housing company in Malmo, includes a brochure distributed to tenants with instructions on how to make small talk with neighbors, Swedish news agency TT reported Monday.

The pamphlet advises neighbors to prepare open-ended greetings and avoid yes-or-no questions.

However, MKB spokesperson Margaretha Soderstrom said lengthy conversations are not always required.

"It's sometimes enough to smile, nod a little, or make a small gesture," she said. "Basically, it's about noticing one another and not averting your glance when meeting others."

Do you talk to your neighbors? In the this age of social media the simple "Hello" is almost forgotten! Say hi to someone today, and if someone says hi to you, don't be scared, say hi back....a simple "hello" can make anyones day. :)
