[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Austria. I found the people to be aggressively rude. Vehemently anti-American. I was actually insulted multiple times during my stay for being American. For example, one time I asked when my breakfast order would be out as I’d been waiting for a long time. I asked politely and the waiter yelled at for being an American who can’t enjoy her holiday. I was told to calm down too. It was such an extreme overreaction. Never experienced this in any other European country. Spoke the other day to a friend who went skiing there and told me how rude everyone was. I told her I know exactly what you mean! Not surprising at all this country welcomed Hitler with open arms. I’m sure they do it again today in a heartbeat. [/quote] Where in Austria were you? Can you give examples of negative interactions outside the hotel? How were you identified so easily? When was this? I’m curious because this thread has been helpful in thinking of destinations and potential pitfalls to avoid. It’s a common misconception but Hitler was actually Austrian. [/quote] I have traveled a bit through Austria and find the people strange. Lived in Bavaria at the time and had no issues with Bavarians. But Austrian interactions were always a little off.[/quote] Bill Bryson once wrote that Austria is beautiful, the only problem with it is it's filled with f***ing Austrians! I did a day trip from Munich to Salzburg last year. My stop in a cafe wasn't the most welcoming experience, but I wasn't screamed at. The atmosphere later in the day once the St. Rupert Day festivities were under way was more enjoyable. Liters of beer and carnival rides make even the most hardened Austrians mildly friendly, I suppose.[/quote]
