    Americans tend to be pushy and, well, stupid in foreign lands.

    Unpleasant people stand out, so they’re the ones we notice. They make an impression, so they’re the ones we remember. This is true of tourists from all over the world, from America to China.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that most are respectful, but end up either unnoticed or forgotten.

      I’m sorry man, but from what I’ve heard in the tourism industry yanks run third place of worst tourists. Second? Germans. First? The English. It’s always the goddamn English.
