I find that British are very a divided society and they have a caste system with enormous class and regional differences, so the people that love to put down the British are also British.

Well here in Europe, we have something called human rights, and none are more inalienable than the right to let go of a liquid load. Depriving me of this right would be cruel and unusual to say the very least of it. You might not want my waas on your petunias, but you should look at it from my perspective, and try to display a little tolerance.

Here in Spain, back in the XVI and XVIIth Century people used to place a vaulted niche with some Virgin in places used by people to relieve themselves...and a Spanish poet called Quevedo wrote "Why do people put vaulted niches with Virgins in the places where you relieve yourself?"

I cringe at the thought of an Indian abroad. We are litter-bugs, loud-mouths, compulsive queue jumpers and always on the look for a loophole to exploit.

you're saying that where you were there was NO public space, store, restaurant, or place in nature where you could have peed?! imagine if everyone just peed in the streets all the time, it'd be so unsanitary and smell like, well, ****.

i don't care if it's legal, nor am i advocating against its legality. i'm just sayin', you could have been a little more courteous.

Not the worst, but I find the Korean and Chinese travelers so tacky. They mostly travel in groups, with banners, wearing head turning outfits and everyone has a camera then do their signature peace sign pose.
