What is his first impression of the people of the Azores, and why do you think he feels the way he does about them?

Twain is disgusted by the many street urchins yet a bit entertained at the same time. He claims that their greeting makes him feel like a novelty act in the circus. He also feels that the people are laid back to downright lazy, even though they don't use modern conveniences. It is a vastly different culture, which likely shocks Twain a bit and forces him into unfair prejudices.
