Most tourists go to tourist places, most Americans have those guides that tell them were to go. Of course, in those places they speak some English. But if they went to "Casa Paco" in some neighborhood not frequented by tourists, nobody speaks English but they get their message across.
I don't care where they are, if they dont speak english they can GET OUT
I can't figure out for the life of me what you're trying to say, but it comes across as rude.
I live around military communities and find a lot of rude travelers who expect just that, for everyone to speak English and for all menus to be translated to English.
Sometimes they speak louder to get their point across.
I'm usually embarrassed to see most US citizens overseas.
Uh, you don't even live in the U.S. Those "foreigners" are illegal immigrants.
Are you saying that there are no tourists in the US? Only illegals?
And yes, we get that you hate the French. Big deal. They're more like people from the us than you'd ever admit.
You may not have noticed, but this thread is about "americans abroad" and their behavior.

Perhaps you shouldn't have started slinging insults; you know, don't do it if you don't want it done to you...
I prefer that places of businesses have air conditioning, I can deal with the language barrier. Walking around Amsterdam during the summer, then sitting down in a coffee shop, I need some A/C... the last time I walked around so much was when I used to live in Europe.
So yeah I have those moments where I turn into a whiny annoying American tourist "gah, why doesn't this place have air conditioning?" that annoys the locals sometimes lol.

Amsterdam coffee shops need good ventilation .... what with all that 'smoke'
You'd be surprised at how many there actually are. Come visit me where I live and I'll introduce you to some of them. (Should I also mention that they believe Europe is a country and that we're all poor?)
I still don't believe it.
All Americans know Mexico has a different language. Why would any Americans, with enough money and the wherewithall to travel overseas, be surprised to learn countries in Europe have their own languages?
I'll agree that there is a percentage of Americans who think Europe is a country. But I find it hard to believe that a lot of Americans who travel to Europe would fall into this category.
