John, they may well be nice at home, but take them out of their comfort zone and they change.

the yanks are THE WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TO TRAVEL WITH.....
that is all.......
you can't leave it on a cliffhanger like that! Reasons, girl!
she does this all the time; comes on here, drops a chaos bomb and then fuks off for a week
I've never had a problem with the Americans I've met. (well, apart from one 
) The kind of American who travels overseas tends to be a lot more open-minded then the hick stereotype we're fed on telly.
the worst are working-class English by a mile. Other countries export cars and fine wine. We export pondlife...

Even tho I come from Australia, I'm of Italian herritage and all I can say is THANK GOD!
They're absolutely right about the bad dress sense and poor linguistic skills.
I almost agree, except Ausies for a pissup, no way. Kiwis yes, they're fantastic, but Ausies, nup. I've seen way too many, and at everyone I've been to I've left thinking "that was the gayest thing I've ever seen".
Brazillians to party with... YES!! and Italians and Greeks and the English aswell.
But thats because the parties I play at here mostly have alot of Italians because, well, I'm from the Italian community here so I understand the culture more than I do Anglo Australian culture. Same as Greek and English well, they're just great people. Some Americans also.
And before I forget sorry.
Serbians and Croations (Despite the history) are also great to party with.

You obviously just got a couple of bad batches. Most of the Americans I know who travel a lot are the exact opposite of that - very open to new experiences, including culinary ones!hehe... sorry morbs but from my experiences travelling with yanks, they are the most annoying, whinging & well...... annoying!

I agree with Morbyd.
All the yanks I've met travelling turned to be great partners.
In my opinion the stereotipes about nationalities doesn't work when you travel, specially when you on the alone back pack thing
Gosh this is a controversial subject isn't it?
You can't write an entire nation off with general sweeping statements like this.
I'm trying to stop myself coming up with quotes because the context is wrong.
But I'm failing...
"The parks over here aren't as good as we have them back home. You guys don't have teetertrotters in your playgrounds!...also I think it's bizarre that all you guys never seem to drink hot milk out of sippy cups. What? You don't know what a sippy cup is?"
(uh?)Generally they're not all as bonkers as the above though and I find English people abroad just as embarrassing if not moreso.

It means I'd rather be Australian/Italian than be Australian of traditional Australian herritage. I don't like Australian customs and traditions. I don't so much like Italian ones either. But I don't like the Italian ones beause they cut into my time.
I'd rather be doing something else than doing all the crap that comes with Italian family life style. But of those things I'd rather be doing, none of them are traditional 'Australian' things. I like the people, just, I don't understand the culture.
And we talk like a bunch of retards with broken jaws by the way. Thats just, truth. Its all about the pallette of the tongue. I watched a documentary about it. ... Tho, I think we're just so lazy we can't even be ****ed talking properly tho
