I know many people dislike Americans when traveling and have preconceived ideas about their behavior as well, but I always try to act as a guest in a lovely home when traveling and act accordingly. I don't "demand" things, and I don't expect things to be "done as we do at home...", which unfortunately is the feedback I hear daily...especially regarding the English. The comments about the Brazilians I hear is that they are rude to service people...snap fingers, talk down to them, and shout...sorry, but as I said I am just giving feedback, as I would like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and Jackasses can be found in every corner of the globe, not just one particular spot!!

Of course I know there are some people who will give you a hard time... but I don't know.. I'd never point fingers like that and say "Uggghhh!!" to anyone.

Monica et son mari are wonderfully polite guests in other countries, n'est ce pas?<BR/><BR/>I understand the rolling of eyes, Tomate. I'm not much of a snob and can't afford to be. (Just ask those who've met me, am I a clothes horse?) Nonetheless, if I visit somebody's home as a guest, I don't dress to mow the lawn or play rugby. Comfortable shoes and climate-appropriate clothing is wise and sane. This does not imply anything goes. If somebody sitting at Les Deux Magots looks like they just came off the basketball court, they're probably an American tourist. It's bit embarrassing for we colonists to observe, say what?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-24371313867788428682007-05-23T22:46:00.000+02:002007-05-23T22:46:00.000+02:00Worst dressed tourists?

Does anybody really care what a tourist is wearing?!!!<BR/><BR/>This is how I feel about it: A tourist should be wearing comfortable shoes [especially in Paris!!!] and easy to care for articles of clothing adapted to the climate and that's pretty much all that's required, especially if all you do is walk around town, visit monuments, or perhaps museums. <BR/><BR/>Of course, there is a dress code in some places, if you want to go out in the evenings, for instance, but generally, who cares what a tourist is wearing?!!

Ohhh, also the Brits should learn that "TIPPING"..[le pourboire]is not a city in CHINA!!! Americans know they don't tip and are cheap, so they automatically give only "necessary" service when they hear the English accent, and won't do any special favors!! ;-) Like it or not this is all reality and the truth!!tonton_flaneurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071868284684917894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-13630816889175672792007-05-23T18:42:00.000+02:002007-05-23T18:42:00.000+02:00As much time as I spent walking around the St. Sul...As much time as I spent walking around the St. Sulpice area, I confess I don't remember these signs.

I'd need to see the actual poll, but maybe that explains all those wars! I certainly agree that we Yanks typically dress like bums over there. Football jerseys and shorts sagging down the butt. What an awful look.
