So here you have it if you are American in Europe you are right away evil and you dislikeJust because you are American ,not in the US every one is nice to you not because you are form far land.
Z,
you are generalizing and not stateing true facts.
What you say is of course BS. There are lot of different countries in Europe with quite different cultures. If something bad happened in France to you, you can not compare it to the way you are threated in for example Greece or scandanavian.
Some French are patriotic and do not like americans so much. Some don't like the germans, the english also.
But that is not everyone. Far from it.
I’m Canadian and I travel all over Europe (including the UK) and the Far East the American people are the must Fridley nice and willing to help you. You walk in to
Elevator and you don’t know no one the will say “Good morning” “hey how are you” and so on in the UK the will look at you like you are going to breathe their air when ask for direction the will ignore you IMHO all the world jealous of America
I agree that Americans, (including canadians) are mostly friendly. I think most of the Europeans are friendly too.
Some like more the mind your own bussiness aproach, and do not say hello to every stranger. This does not mean any dislike. It is just a different way of doing.
Like when you go into a shop hear, mostly there is no greeting. That is fine, no unfriendlyness. In America mostly they do greet you. But do they mean what they say. Mostly not. So what is better?
I guess it is just a different way of achieving the same. SO why judge.....
Look at the achievements the research, medicine, transport, high tech and more.
America has achived a lot. so has Europe. In some things Europeans are more progressive, in other things americans.
We could be wise persons, if we take advantages of the best of different cultures, without thinking that there is only one good way, there is only us, and all other are all .... (lot of americans are doing this luckely).
I think if you go to Europe and can't wait to you go home, you are not opening up, to the differences. You just want to have everything the same as at home.
I travelled a lot, and know there are many wonderfull people everywhere. Some things are really great in America, (including south america), some things are great in asia, some things are great in Australia or the pacific. Some things are great in europe too.....
