How do Europeans of /int/ feel about American tourists?
I'm traveling to Europe soon and I don't want to do much to stand out as some asshole American (even though my friends and I kind of are).
Plz no bully
>>59961748
Alright, until they open their mouths.
>>59961748
Say that you are Canadian. Like every American tourist.
>>59961784
What stuff should I not say!?
>>59961748
All tourists are welcomed here, i would say
don't listen to the elitists Ameribro. American tourists are godtier :),
>>59961748
A bit dummy and naive but otherwise pretty good.
Everyone will adore you because TV brainwash.
>>59961748
sew canadian flag on rucksack, no one will know the difference.
whatever country you start in, go to a very cheap clothes shop or market and buy clothes to wear, clothing is always the giveaway
dress in suits all the time, no one will bat an eyelid and they will think you are business people so nationality is irrelevant
carry a pint of milk, tourists rarely do this
>>59962477
>carry a pint of milk, tourists rarely do this
But do natives? Are you sure it won't just make him look like a poorly dressed idiot?
>>59962356
"Hi"
>>59962356
>>59962544
Well, we have freedom of speech, you know...
Say whatever but racist things, that's it, try to be respectful
Watch waltersworld or something like that on youtube, he's an american travelling in Europe very often he explaines how to "not stan out" as an american, like for example not talk too loud

Does Finland get tourists?
>>59963075
7,1 million in 2015
>>59963125
Interesting
>>59963285
most if not all are japs or chinks
>>59963337
Why?
>>59961748
I met only once a murrican tourists in my shithole about 5 years ago. There were three of them. Two 20-25yo history students with their professor ~40yo.
They were fine, but looked weird. They've asked how to get to some old buildings-architectural monuments. I said them that there are only rebuilded ones because of ww2 and showed them the way. They were sad that here was no really old buildings.
>>59962886
Thanks! This might get interesting because my friend who is coming along is probably the loudest fucker I know.
>>59963628
Japs for some reason love Finurando
>>59961748
just blend in, nobody will really notice or care. americans are well liked here
but i remember once i caught two american tourists having a loud argument outside a bar in Oslo. It was neat, like Hollywood in Norway. They stood out like sore thumbs.
>>59962477
>sew canadian flag on rucksack
As someone who has traveled quite a lot, every Canadian does this and it is the #1 think canucks are ridiculed about abroad. Really don't do this unless you want everyone to think you are a faggot
>>59964099
Those aren't actually canakeks, they're amerikeks masquerading as canakeks
>>59964211
no they're leafs for sure. it actually is really fucking pathetic. here's a blurb on it
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/travel/activities-and-interests/calling-all-canadians-slice-that-maple-leaf-off-your-backpack/article25113187/
>>59962661
Tbh, when I went to Madrid the natives were saying some pretty racist things to some thieving gypsies that got caught.
>>59962477
Last week when coming back to the airport in Paris i saw Canadians with those things, it's so ridiculous don't do this please
Anyways i actually never really talked much to an American tourist even though i'm Parisian
I see brits sometimes but i guess Americans stay in the center of town ?
I know one of my friends dated an American exchange student, she was ok just not very bright and pretty boring which is the impression i get from most Americans
It could be worse
The only tourists i really don't like are the Chinese
no feel
>>59961748
This is a pretty accurate:

>>59961748
They are better than most Euro tourists, but their freedom shows (not necessarily a bad thing but Americans are easy to tell)
>>59965026
at first i thought it was adam sandler
all americans look like adam sandler
>>59961748
I had this Texan lady sit next to me on the bus. Very talkative, and very excited to be here. Most Americans are like that and I like them.
>>59962356
What country?
>>59964981
The thing is when Norwegians meet foreigners they just talk about Norway and how great everything about Norway is.
>>59965686
The only good things I can think about Norway is, >majority white
>Nice scenery
>>59965432
We are going to Dublin, then to Amsterdam, then we will wing it and maybe go to Germany or Prague, and finally fly home from Rome
Just don't dress like a child and you'll be fine, American tourists often do this. As you probably know your country is very well liked here.
>>59967542
What's considered childish ?
>>59961748
pls leave your fanny pack at home, also any paraphernalia with the american flag printed on it, otherwise you're good.
British tourists set an EXTREMELY HIGH bar when it comes to obnoxious foreigners, so you'd REALLY have to go out of your way to intentionally offend the natives.
>>59961748
I've never met or to my knowledge seen an american. I think I heard some americans at a steakhouse though but I felt some kind of embarrasment because it was a place that tried to be 'american' and had a lot of cowboy stuff and country music and shit, I mean I like it, but I just cringed a bit when the real deal came and looked at our silly 'muricathemed-resturant.
>>59967671
Shorts.
>>59965785
did you know that the beer in norway is really expensive?
>>59967671
Shorts, sandals, basketball shoes, sportswear... etc. We are far from the best dressers in Europe ourselves but that stuff looks silly and stereotypical. Also it's not as hot as in most of America so you don't really need it to feel comfortable.
>>59968235
Ok cool thanks brahim
>>59967366
Amsterdam: Nothing really offensive but a few tips:
Don't buy drugs on the street.
Even though it's weed lmao capital, an individual can only carry 5 grams of weed on him, or risk a fine.
Don't accept cookies from strangers.
Don't forget to carry a valid ticket on you when in public transport (Inspection is random)
PT related: Watch the windows of the train (silent or talking area) and the number in your train. You likely bought a second class ticket, which isn't valid for the much nicer 1st class seats.
Other than that, pretty much the same rules and guidelines you probably use in your hometown.
Enjoy your trip Ameribro
>>59961748
they're usually kind and respectful fellas, i don't really have problem with them
NO ZIONISM
>>59969344
You forgot :
>Be paranoid about cyclists
They're everywhere, the road, the bike lane, the pavement, they do whatever they want in that city
And they straight up refuse to stop cycling even if you're standing in front of them.
These people would rather crash their bike into you than watch out, apparently the pedestrian is a lower class citizen who has no rights in Amsterdam
And no they will not yell at you or honk the horn or anything like that, that would be too easy, they expect you to magically know they're right behind you
Imagine if you're high, drunk, or both, it's a nightmare
Duch cyclists are basically terrorists
>>59967979
>>59968235
I still don't understand the hate for shorts. It sometimes gets hot/humid and you want to be a little cooler by wearing shorts. As long as they're not basketball shorts or those weird baggy ones I don't see what the problem is (though I don't know if Poland really gets hot enough to warrant wearing shorts desu, but I see this complaint from hot countries too)
>>59967915
But everyone loves cowboy/western shit
>>59970446
They're bad enough here, I couldn't imagine a place where everyone and their grandmother bikes to work.
PS. One of the busy main streets near me got rid of a car lane to add a bikelane which doubled car trafic REEEEEEEE
>>59961748
Don't bring your AUG and you should be fine
>>59970969
Sweat like a man, pussy.
>>59971170
Next time it's hot out I'll wear a parka so I can be a real man
>>59970969
in poland it might be hot, but not humid.
>>59961748
I can't really tell if a tourist is American, but one time these two young American men were going from door to door and spreading the word of God.
Over here most people are Atheist though, so nobody would talk to them from what i could tell.
Silly Americans.
>>59971286
Tbh humidity is the real problem. It's so uncomfortable. I prefer running in 32 C weather with low humidity rather than 18 C weather with >90% humidity.
>>59967366
Be careful here, do not mention any sort of ancestry and don't be obnoxious
american tourists are friendly as fuck
especially compared to northern european weirdos
>>59964468
>thieving gypsies
It's like saying sweet sugar, it's redundant.
Also gypsies are not people so this is perfectly acceptable
>>59965686
can confirm this
we had a Norwegian exchange student in 6th form for a year and he constantly went on about how great Norway was
He was also a hard core Rodt party shill. So not only did he go on about how great Norway was, he also went on about how great Communism and Socialism was. He was actually a pretty cool guy, it was just the fact that he was a commie Norwegian which was his downfall
>>59971373
>Tbh humidity is the real problem
i fucking know. The weather in POland is pretty much like in Chicago (both summer and winter) except for a humidity. I ve been there for couple of days and the humidity almost fucking killed me. I am too white for that shit.
>>59971619
Patriotism is nice. Fuck commies though
>>59971373
This so fucking much. I lived in Texas for a few years as a kid where 35 C wouldn't be out of the norm, but because it was dry heat it was fine.
Where I am now the hottest it has ever gotten is like 25 C max but on average it's like 90% humidity all year round and it's horrible even at 15 C
>>59971655
that feel when polish qts in short shorts though
>>59970446
literally never happened to me and I live here.
But ye treat cyclists like equals to cars.
>>59961748
They seem to be a bit clueless, and expect that we would have the American comfort levels and customs - they are usually surprised and sometimes a bit frustrated that we don't put ice into our drinks, and the AC is not turned to such a cold temperature as they are used to, and stuff like that.
But all in all, they are a good kind of tourists, compared to some others.
>>59970446
To be fair, most pedestrians are blind idiots who can't even grasp the concept of 'situational awareness'. When I'm walking, I keep my eyes open, and if I move laterally I check behind me to make sure nobody's coming from behind.
And I don't stop in the middle of the fucking road for some asinine bullshit.
>>59971416
Why is mentioning ancestry a bad thing
they love us for the money of course but talk shit about us especially the frogs
>>59961748
Most people are very anti-US. Not only because you have a very different culture than here in Europe, and because you have taken over their traditional role as the world's hegemon. But also because of your interventionism in the Middle East. Most Europeans have family members that were directly affected.
But most people also don't have anything against Americans as individuals. We are all able to separate the actions of individuals from those of the state.
>>59961748
As long as you don't dress entirely in Old Navy complete with ballcap and fannypack in addition to having an obese wife and two autistic children, you'll be fine.
Unfortunately that demographic and Cali sluts seem to be half of burger tourists
>>59973292
>your interventionism in the Middle East. Most Europeans have family members that were directly affected.
What? How so?
>>59973484
Well, because half of the Middle East's population moved here.
>>59961748
I don't care about them. My dad has a buissiness with Americans and I often see them in his hotel. They look like hipsters and say something like "hey little boy, do you speak English, say something, you've got so funny accent" and i like "sorrrri, me not speak English". Actually I'm gonna immigrate to the US in near future
>>59973562
Well, desu that's more the fault of European countries than of America's. There have been wars in the Middle East since forever, and we didn't have millions coming after every one.
>>59973381
don't forget the fat feminists with the thick glasses and the colored hair who act like they're so cultured for coming here
the worst is when they start growing body hair and post it on the internet because they actually believe it's socially acceptable in france
no your fat armpits with hair all over them are NOT sensual or artistic they are disgusting
they are all over parisian tinder, universities, cafés, everywhere
MAKE THEM GO AWAY
>>59973292
US government != US people
All the Americans I've met have been very nice people. The few that have a passport and are wealthy enough to travel abroad for a vacation tend to be quite civilized.
Probably helps that the ones I've met were all older tourist types.
My uncle once had to pick up an American businessman from the airport and as they were stopped at traffic lights the man pointed to a white man sweeping the street and said "back home we have niggers for that".
>>59971353
Mormon's perhaps? I just don't answer the door. They eventually leave
>>59974062
We don't want them back
>>59964471
>not very bright and pretty boring
Fair assesment desu. Usa is large so depending on region people are different but I can see it.
If you don't want to be pegged as an American straight away then don't wear any of the following.
Baseball cap
Waist bag / Belt pack
SHORTS
Sports jerseys
Sunglasses when indoors
If you see men walking around town with their tops off those are violent British chav tourists. Keep clear.
>>59967366
Galway is honestly nicer. Lots of students too, so you can probably fuk some 19 year old Siobhan.
>>59974062
You can keep them
>>59973292
>Most Europeans have family members that were directly affected.
Fuck off, Abdul, you're not European
>>59961748
Think about how you would want a tourist behaving around you when you're trying to get to work or school. The honest truth is they want you to kiss their ass because Europeans are arrogant so if you're willing to brown nose at the cost of you and your countries dignity I would suggest going about whatever business you were going to do and not even bother. Why do you care btw if you'll never meet these people ever again except for maybe at the end of your rifle scope.
Am I European? I'm not from Asian part of Russia
>>59961748
I have met two americans in my life, one was the cowboy type and the other a white gangsta.
Both were so fucking cringy and retarded i dont even understand how they could get a visa
>>59975669
Yes. I hung out with a Russian guy the Other night, playing cards and drinking. He was pretty cool.
>>59975872
Actually Russians don't like Germans because propaganda. People think that you can't spend money and kiss kebabs asses.
Have Bavarian gf
>>59975669
Of course, Russians are real bros
>>59975669
If you live in Moscow or west of Moscow you are European I think.
>>59975646
>Europeans are arrogant
Not true.
Brits and Germans are alright, Aussies seem socially crippled, and Americans are obsessed about telling me about every European's view on American politics. "The thing about Europe I don't understand is" and then proceeds to act as if we're uniform in our world views as countries.
What annoys me is that the fucking tea is flavoured wrong. It just doesn't taste like tea. And the milk is fake 3.5% bullshit.
>>59975991
I'm Irish though. Should I leave my namefagging on?
>>59976169
I'm half Irish and even have Irish citizensnip

Why do Europeans hate when Americans want to find their ancestral home or family. Is it considered obnoxious.
>>59964471
>>59964099
canadians are generally nervous people and insecure as fuck about not wanting to appear american.
thanks for telling me though would have done this because it seems "right" for some reason.

>>59976345
Yes. Nationalism died in Europe a long time ago. People don't see race or ethnicity here. They just see other people.
>>59976345
Europeans don't bother with it at all, so they might feel a bit overwhelmed. It's also more personal for most Europeans than it might be for Americans.
If you get to know someone, and then talk about it, it's fine. Just as a conversation starter it's too much.
I believe the single most annoying thing about them is that they tend to treat their country as the center of the universe.
>Why doesn't the rest of the world work/look/behave like america?
>If this was america i'd do this and that
>"Do you want me to take off my shoes when i go into your house because of it's a tradition in where you live? Fuck off you're disrespecting my freedoms in america we don't do that
>>59976627
I'm talking about the tourists I have met. Obviously not all Brits or Germans are nice. I'm going with what experiences i have.
>>59976627
I mean the United States is 1 country whereas Germany and the United Kingdom are 2 countries.
>>59975832
Ouch. Well we are not all wiggers and hicks
>>59961748
I don't like them.
I don't like tourists in general. They should stay at home instead of coming to bother me.
t. parisian
>>59961748
Well, usually american tourists stand out because they're loud and obnoxious. Just don't be like that and you're fine.
>>59977385
Germans are impossivle to please.

>>59970969
it was over 30°C this week.
>>59977980
He managed to understand the other donut I wanted easily enough, the context was hardly impossible to guess accurately.
>>59978118
Still, I don't get what's so bad about that. I doubht it's different in other countries. Everyone here can speak english and why not do it when there is an occasion to do so?
They hardly come to countries that use leftist dialectics in national politics.
>>59961748
Your american government controls half of Europe and you care about security of your travel? Are you scared, Johnyboy?

I-I dress in old navy clothes. Mostly because I'm poor.
>usual everyday dress is slim fitting t-shirt, light coat, slim fitting dark blue jeans
>tfw the only things that weren't bought at old navy are the full grain black leather belt (normal "genuine" leather belts seem to come apart after a few months), a watch, and nice cheap shoes shipped from the UK, all of which were ordered off amazon
>>59979088
>no one can understand it
I know literally nobody in my social circle who wasn't in the UK at least for few months. You can easily say that all Poland lived in this country already for some time, maybe except seniors and children. I am pretty sure that Poles know English language much better than Germans
>>59979097
Old navy always seemed to have solid stuff.
I still have some shirts here that I bought back in 2008 that I regularly wear. Still in good shape
>>59979084
This is a lie
No one in Poland speak English, tried to ask for directions in Gdansk, no pole could answer.
>>59974853
>My uncle once had to pick up an American businessman from the airport and as they were stopped at traffic lights the man pointed to a white man sweeping the street and said "back home we have niggers for that".
Did your uncle and his customer live in the 1920s? We have vehicles here for that. They come by your street once every few weeks and put up signs on the trees a few days ahead of time to let people know not to park there the day they'll be cleaning or you get a ticket. Then they take the signs down after they do their cleaning
>>59979249
>no pole could answer.
They didn't want to talk to you, but it doesn't mean that they couldn't. I would never stop and begin to explain anything in English to foreigner myself, i would just ignore such person or said : "sorry, i don't speak English"
>>59979314
sure thing sergej
>>59979314
>I would never stop and begin to explain anything in English to foreigner myself, i would just ignore such person or said : "sorry, i don't speak English"
Why?
Do you enjoy being an asshole?
>>59979314
>poles confirmed for being rude
We later got direction from two Mormons from USA that was in Poland as missionary's
>>59979408
I am not even kidding now. I was asked many times by passing persons on street about way in English, and i never answered so far, i basically ignored such persons and continued to walk. Most Poles don't like foreigners, no matter what your nationality and ethnicity is.

why
Come again when somebody is asking for direction in danish..
>>59979630
Because nobody has respect for Poland, that's why Poles don't feel obliged to have respect for foreigners.

Are they by any chance some of the nice patriotic shirts they're always selling? :3

I don't know anybody that has ever said anything good or bad about Polish people, most don't think about you. If they did and like Poland they might go there, and then you are assholes to them, not cool.
>>59979742

Italy was the same way from my experience. Shitskins selling things in the street will give you all the info you need in English for a Euro though.

Poles were not respected in US as migrants. Jokes about their stupidity are the reason.
>>59980169
>Jokes about their stupidity are the reason.
I never hear of any.
Tell some of them, now I don't like them any more.
>>59980169
>let me tell you about your cunt
Poles are well-liked here. I've never heard a joke about their stupidity. Maybe decades ago (iirc Archie Bunker used to call his son-in-law a polak in All in the Family but he hated him more for being a hippy)
>>59980262
>>59980416
He meant famous Polish jokes... Like : "how many Pollacks does it take to eat a burrito"... :DDD
>>59980513
how many?
>>59979953
Every American girl I've met while travelling was a total airhead cow. A lot of the guys were okay but I met some guys who were obviously frat bros in college and acted like cunts to everyone, couldn't hold their drink either.

UK I'm sure has to deal with the worst of us. When I was in London it was horrifying to see other Americans.
>>59981011
It's always horrifying to see other tourists from your own country, not sure why
>>59981192
Because you know they are from your country due to them being loud obnoxious cunts. If they were quiet and kept to themselves you would never hear the accent or them yelling to begin with.
Don't know if Germans talk about being from Germany when they are abroad like Americans do.
>>59980262
You ask me to tell you american jokes about Poles? I am from Belarus. It's almost Poland if you don't care to know it. So check your clown archives for them.
>>59981011
Luckily I don't think we're too bad unless we drink, lads holidays are usually kept to Spain and Greece.
Don't drop your nukes in the airport.

I mean, aren't you guys notorious for shitting up the south shores of Spain?
>>59961748
US is a beautiful country to travel. Why should europeans create special conditions for you? They speak Russian better than English, I think. Because russian tourism in Europe much more older than american one.
>>59982598
I'm not asking for them to create special conditions for me. I'm asking what "conditions" are common there so I can follow them and not annoy the general population I will be around.
>>59983344
treat bicycles as cars in Amsterdam and you should be fine.
>>59983456
Yes yes I'll keep that in mind. How are the trams there? Should we just go with bikes instead?
>American tourists
They are two kind of Murican tourists.
Those who want to discover the cunt where they are, test the food, see the buildings, try to live different for a month/ two weeks.
And those who just want to eat at Mcdonald's, take some pictures at the local supermarket, and cry because the local countryman peasant don't speak "American".

Those aren't Canadians burger, they're Americans. Pretty much the laugh of the century was a fifth estate documentary interviewing Americans in Europe who had a Canadian flag. This is where the meme about Americans sewing maple leafs on their backpacks came from.
STOP DOING THIS DAMNIT

Nah we keep doing. Also carry a liter of maple syrup for authenticity. Dummies never think twice when they see that smooth, sticky, amber syrup tangling from the backpack.

I've only met two, an elderly northeastern couple, they were nice and polite (and skinny) and asked me for directions. I guess they prefer Germany and France, we're too obscure.

How are you treated when you come to America?
Is it nice here?

It's not so much what you say, but American tourists tend to be loud as fuck... and for some reason feel the need to comment on everything they see, out loud (very loud) to each other.
>see middle aged fat American tourists
>seems to be two married couples
>OMG BARBARA DID Y'ALL SEES THAT THAR BUILDIN, IT HAD IT SUM O THEM OLD TIMEY SHUTTERS
>OH AH KNOW MONICA, SURE WAS QUAINT
>HEY BRUCE LOOK, THEY SELL FOREIGN FOOD HERE
And on it goes. I think this has a lot to do with their age and general level of being traveled though. I have met younger American tourists and with them you usually don't even realize they're not locals until they open their mouths to speak.
Why not stay in the US?
