10 Ways to Get Yourself Labeled as an Ugly American {Gadling}
Nov 14th 2008 12:28PM Great post. Sorry guys but I always want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I've come across ugly Americans on every trip I've made around Europe.
There is one thing that I'd add to the above. Why, when you are exploring the world's most amazing places, must you constantly talk (loudly) to other American travellers about home? It amazes me.
I'd just hiked across Capri once to see the Arco Naturale. A beautiful scene, a sunny day. But I happened to be there with two American students who'd just met there and proceeded to natter about home, without even stopping to take in the beauty around them. Then a young couple arrived and joined in with them. arhhgh. You've travelled half way across the world for a reason, haven't you?
I'm sure that all nationalities have ugly travelling characteristics though. Brits abroad....I don't count myself amongst them, but that's the stereotype that I have to grin and bear ;)
