As cold as Slovakia?

So Slovakia was weird,because the roads were good,but not too much space for bikes,but people make an effort driving,it doesn't always mean they actually leave me a lot of space...but I don't feel unsafe.
I cycled through quite a lot of really nice bike roads(asphalt obviously,although I cycled on gravel and sand a lot too thanks to my freaking gps)At one town a red Skoda Fabia going on opposite direction beeped at me,and the driver showed me a peace sign through the window,so I smiled and waved back.Long story short,he turned around,overtook me and we stopped for a chat near the road,he have me his number,and told me that if I ever have time or I'm in trouble in Slovakia,he would come and pick me up...I mean,awesome right,and then he gave me an awesome sticker,size of my hand,to stick somewhere on my bags.
Another nice thing that happened to me was sleeping near to bees on a field.The owner of the grounds came,right before I was going to sleep,to pick up like millions of bottles,we talked and he was impressed,and super happy that I chose his field to sleep on xD,He also used to do bike trips,but only around Slovakia.Still,super cool.Then in the morning when I was picking up my stuff,he came in the car again,with the millions of bottles back,but filled with food for the bees.But that is nothig,he took out a picninc blanket and a huge basket filled with food and a termos with tea,and a bottle of his homemade honey,and told me to fill up,coz I must be hungry after,and I exercise so much,and he said that whatever I don't eat now,he doesn't want to take back,so I should pack it.
Wow! Needless to say,I packed 80% of it,because I'm not a breakfast person,but the warm tea was awesome.
The honey I don't really eat,I tried it,to show my caretaker at the moment,that it's good.
To make a point that the title started,besides these few acts of kindness I found Slovaks,to be a very cold and closed culture.
