I agree that American tourists are pushy, ignorant of local customs and cultures, demanding and expect something for nothing.

I have traveled extensively throughout the world, both independently and with groups, and I find that alot of the people I have traveled with have little patience, have no concept of the history and culture of the nations they visit and complain that "things are sure not like this back home", when they are faced with situations they do not understand.

At times I feel ashamed of the "Ugly American" face that we sometimes show to others.
