    About Americans who visit Holland

    Ive met many Americans here who visit Europe and in my case Holland. Not webmasters but just tourists.

    And i have to say these Americans are always the most nice and polite people.

    They are totally different than many Americans i met IN America. Like totally completely different!

    They are polite and calm. Dont brag, try to fit in to the place they visit. As in they try to learn how to behave here and get accepted.

    When you talk to them its a 99% chance they dont support Bush and often have a problem with the American gun law (which is rare for Americans).

    They are friendly, buy you drinks, dont harass the local chicks. Give good tips (way too much for Dutch standards) and hardly ever cause problems.

    Compared to tourists from many other countries they are some of the nicest people to visit Amsterdam.

      The worst tourists we probably get here are the English. Especially the young guys.

      But at least they spend good money i guess.

      Then you have people from Spain and Italy, the young guys. The come here without any money. Their only mission is to live like a bum and get drunk and high all fucking day while begging for money. They are not really tourists, they just move here for a few months.

                          I dont see too many Germans really. I know they are here but ive met very few. So that also means they dont cause much problems.

                              Where i used to live was one of the tourist spots for Germans in the summer and if i can think of 1 bad thing about them its that they kinda refuse to speak English (or cant) or try to speak Dutch. Now many people in Holland, especially the younger guys, speak a few words German so i guess they expect everybody understands them. Well actually most people do understand them but its just annoying that they dont try. Most Dutch people always try to speak a few words of the local language whereever they go. Just a few words but at least the try. Know what i mean?

                                      Im amazed how very few people in Germany speak English. Even the youth. Youd expect countries like that to have many English speaking people. Same like France. Those fuckers dont speak English.

                                                  I like diners and those typical American steak houses. They just serve way too fucking much. Those plates are huge! And then you get a coke, already a huge ass glass and when its finished half way they fill it up for you again. Crazy.

                                                      Whenever I eat out I always end up with 2 more meals worth of leftovers. Did it yesterday. Now I have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. But, I'm a small guy. The typical person doesn't usually take home leftovers that I've noticed.

                                                                          And i have to say these Americans are always the most nice and polite people.

                                                                          They are totally different than many Americans i met IN America. Like totally completely different!

                                                                          They are polite and calm. Dont brag, try to fit in to the place they visit. As in they try to learn how to behave here and get accepted.

                                                                          When you talk to them its a 99% chance they dont support Bush and often have a problem with the American gun law (which is rare for Americans).

                                                                          They are friendly, buy you drinks, dont harass the local chicks. Give good tips (way too much for Dutch standards) and hardly ever cause problems.

                                                                          Compared to tourists from many other countries they are some of the nicest people to visit Amsterdam.

More laid back. The truth is the vast majority of Americans either don't have the time, the funds or are too scared to travel outside the US. And if they do, Mexico is the most likely destination.

I took my grandparents out to lunch last weekend to a new steakhouse that opened up by them. I ordered a tbone and the smallest they had was 18 onces, also comes with 2 sides and a salad. Was the only meal I ate that day.

                                                                                                              And i have to say these Americans are always the most nice and polite people.

                                                                                                              They are totally different than many Americans i met IN America. Like totally completely different!

                                                                                                              They are polite and calm. Dont brag, try to fit in to the place they visit. As in they try to learn how to behave here and get accepted.

                                                                                                              When you talk to them its a 99% chance they dont support Bush and often have a problem with the American gun law (which is rare for Americans).

                                                                                                              They are friendly, buy you drinks, dont harass the local chicks. Give good tips (way too much for Dutch standards) and hardly ever cause problems.

                                                                                                              Compared to tourists from many other countries they are some of the nicest people to visit Amsterdam.

                                                                                                              i did notice that the germans were given a hard time - memories are hard to forget.

Youd expect countries like that to have many English speaking people. Same like France. Those fuckers dont speak English.

                                                                                                                  germany was cool never had problems there and alot of the people i met tried to speak english but france was the worst of any country i visited.

Did it yesterday. Now I have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. But, I'm a small guy. The typical person doesn't usually take home leftovers that I've noticed.

                                                                                                                          Concur with this and the shoehorn/ghost comments--all true. The Americans that bother or are able to travel, don't live in a narrow world. They are worldly and intelligent most of the time. Like anyone who travels really.

                                                                                                                          The Americans you see touring in Europe aren't the average gun-toting, bible-thumping, Bush-loving, tobacco-chewing, bass boat owning, greasy rednecks you find so often back in the neighborhood, who rarely leave their own side of town.

                                                                                                                              And i have to say these Americans are always the most nice and polite people.

                                                                                                                              They are totally different than many Americans i met IN America. Like totally completely different!
                                                                                                                              Certainly is a massive difference from the absurdity on this board *LOL*

                                                                                                                              The US people I've met are exactly as you said, have sense and are far more interesting.

                                                                                                                              In fairness, my US friends are much the same - very polite and even more polite than us Eurotrash

This is probably going up do to new laws but is still pretty low. So as a rule you are meeting wealthier americans who made an effort to travel. It is cool that is shows though.

                                                                                                                                          My experience is almost all people who are outside there own country are pretty cool. Makes sense as once you leave your comfort zone a certain sense of self preservation should kick in and tone down your worst traits.
