I recently met a woman from Mongolia, and she is a very friendly person. "Foreign visitors" would mean visitors from anywhere but Mongolia, so it might be helpful to know which foreigners visit Mongolia most often.
I've been to #7, Portugal, many times. I have always been amazed how people treat me once they find out I am from the United States. There have been many a time I never had to bring my wallet out of my pocket at the local pub.
Even though I made more in a month then they did in a year, they considered it an honor to be able to buy for an American. Of course, I did go to many places off the beaten track since I married a young lady born & raised in the northern mountains of Portugal 28 years ago.
Still, on our trips to Lisbon & Oporto, I was treated the same as in a rural mining town. I highly recommend vacationing there if you hold a U.S. passport.
