How many social norms can a handful of Americans break in 2 days? So obnoxious. So crass.


Americans need to get it through their thick skulls that they're not special when traveling abroad and need to learn how to shut the hell up. No one wants to listen to to idiots. You're not in the US. Take a dose of humble pie and shut it.

You’re a real charmer yourself, huh?

Never claimed to be. But at least I know to STFU on trains in Japan and never talk on the phone for 40 minutes at obscene decibel levels in public. Learn some basic damn etiquette. Unlike the US where it is about ME and F everyone else, other countries have profound respect for everyone around them, and it is deeply revered. Idiot Americans piss all over that when traveling because low cost flights allow every zoo animal from America access abroad now.

You sound like one of the weird kids from HK we all met in college… relentlessly studying, “showering” at the sink when you wake up two minutes before class, deeply angry about life and absolutely ready to snap at any minute.

Enjoy you misery, Clarence!

Americans are widely considered one of the best groups of tourists.

Dem stuffy train riders and gym folk just jealous they ain't free like us.

There are some Americans who are great travelers, and some who aren't. The obnoxious ones are obnoxious wherever they go.

If they wanted to be more than just some destination for US tourists to behave poorly then maybe they shouldn’t have bombed Pearl Harbor.

Why don't you follow them around and report back on the answer to your question? We'll wait.

Why don't you just worry about yourself.

Ha ha. Says an American. I think you meant to say they are considered the best tippers. That much is true.

One or two people here, one or two people there. Where is your evidence that Americans as a group act like this in Japan or anywhere? Anecdotal evidence of strongly held theories and beliefs is the norm on DCUM though so I guess you fit right in.

We were in Madrid last year and I could tell the passport line with the passengers from Newark from a mile away. Let's also add the amount of space that Americans take everywhere- in lines, on the planes, walking on the streets. The invasion of the loud Bibendum michelin tromping in extra wide new balance.

Try traveling as a group of people from both America and LATAM. We were f’ing LOUD. And we didn’t care.
