I'm starting to think that the US should start banning certain citizens from leaving the US. Don’t worry, Ant, I didn’t take any offense.

My favorite was a young Floridian guy who was openly racist, sexist and - you guessed it - homophobic. He was against anything that didn't fit the grain of his church, but then, I met him in polar opposite of cultures, China. I think Americans do get a bad rap, though generally the independent ones I meet are much more liberal and add a lot to their environment. I used this man as an example of inconsiderate tourism more than to target the culture of American travellers per se. At the end of the day, I didn't feel much better being on the edge of such a grand part of Buddhist life in Tibet. Thanks for your comment Stacy.

And before anyone gets their knickers twisted...I am American. Almost all the Americans I meet abroad are elite snobs who are culturally-insensitive, expect things to be and work like home, and my favorite, expect everyone to know and speak English to them no matter what country they're in. There have been quite a few people I've met abroad who have commented to me that I'm unlike any American they've met and that I'm cool. There are some of us out there...it's just we're a little harder to find but worth the effort, because, hey, we're cool!!
