You're kinda generalizing Americans there Ed. Man this thread has totally gone crazy. I simply made a post about how I thought the people in Rome were rude and got to a place where I felt I had to defend my statement. Even with all the shoving and crap I still would have gone there because it was that cool. That doesn't mean I have to like how the people act there does it? If you don't like how Americans are then why do you live here? I'm not trying to be a prick either. I think it's a fair question.

What has my opinion for America's foreign policy and American's take on letting the government to do with my choice of living here?
Are you perfectly fine with everything that is happening?So, es I am generalizing, and there are just as many Germans I don't like their given attitude

But to answer your question, I live here because it has up to a few years ago made sense to do so.
These days, I'm not so sure any more and I actually am considering moving back to Europe eventually.

However the only reason I got into this thread was Trev's "universal Faux Paux" comment.

This is all true. I was giving my "impression" of 4 days in Rome. I prolly shouldn't have said anything, but it was enough of an impression that it impacted me enough to feel ok with the statement I made. I will add that I was in Rome during the peak season, so I'm sure this made everything that much worse. I'll re-state as well that my original statement included other "tourists" as well. It's just how everyone in general was acting while we were there. If I'm not allowed my opinions on this board, then I guess I'll just shaddup.

No reason to shaddup :)

You posted something about your euro-trip and it got blown a bit out of proportion in this thread. I just tried to calm the whole thing down a bit with my post...i obviously failed :D

Well if men knocking into a woman so hard hard she might fall, without caring, is just the "local" way I guess I revoke my traveller's card. I'll just get back to helping my neighboring Americans control resources around the world and converting the globe to "Freedom Town". :gethim: :D

Plus if anyone likes getting lifted off your feet, take the Hong Kong Subway....or the Perth to Fremantle train on New years Eve.

It's not that everyone in Europe is thin, it's that everyone here in the US is a fat pig. I went to Japan a few years ago for 2 weeks and there's NO fat people. When i came back to the US and i got into JFK airport it took me 2 seconds to find some big fat ass bitch. In Japan you just don't see women with big asses the size of a volkswagon.

One thing that's different is the portions. They don't eat as much. I took me a few days to get used to it. Over here you go anywhere and your big gulp alone is gigantic.


And as far as attitudes and Europe. Well, my father in law has been everywhere and his bussiness has taken him to Europe probably hundreds of times. And my wife has been across they pond numerous times. France seems to harvest the most anti-American attitudes. I would like to visit Spain and Scotland though.

And speaking of expensive, if you're in Japan and you order some Kobe Beef and you didn't check the price, don't be upset when you get a $300 bill for an 8 ounce meal.

Wow you were ripped of with the Kobe beef.

France has always had a reputation here in the States that they just don't like Americans. I figure a lot of it is made up or exaggerated but there is some truth to it. I'm talking about typical things though like bad service at restuarants and whatnot, nothing major.

BUT, being that my wifes familiy is Japanese they can experience racial hate at a much higher level here in the states, especially in the midwest or the South. Me personally, the most uptight people i have been around was Raleigh North Carolina. Everywhere i went, it seemed everyone had a carrot up their ass.

My wife has never had a problem with being Japanese in the UK except for people asking her questions about Japan (in a nice way).
