As people who have talked to me much on the board know, this is a pretty sensitive topic for me. In my work, I travel abroad and am very cognizant of the impression I make on other people. I believe strongly that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their national or cultural heritage. Unfortunately, in observing other Americans abroad, I can see why we are somtimes labelled "ugly Americans." I am very gratified, Yorrick, that you had the good fortune to encounter these particular Americans and that is has been a positive experience for you.

I'm glad MOST Americans are not like that! Brits have a reputation in Europe for producing 'football hooligans'. Most Brits are not like that, either. Every nation has it's quota of 'pixie pricks', lol! ------------------ |
