You don’t swim when you go to the beach in Vancouver… pfffft hehe. The last time I was in the ocean was last August and it was really chilly.

re. 2nd official beach day.

Yes yes yes, but was the water (at least marginally) warm or worth dipping your feet?

Yeah, I thought people on the street were rather rude.. However, in some cities like New York, you’ll find most people seem rather rude, just because the life is rather fast and busy. But stop any New Yorker and ask for help, and most of them time they’ll stop and give you a smile.

I’m so glad you have reminded me why we are heading to Europe for our summer holiday, instead of the USA.

I ran into nothing but rude people full of attitude who were always looking at you, and speaking to you as though you were out to get them.

Yeah…its nice to have a choice in where we go, so I am not bragging here…but I get so fed up with the typical narrow-minded American tourist. This, coming from a flag waving, right wing, libertarian too.

The comment you made is all too familiar out here. Despite my not wanting to believe in stereotypes and all that…it is SO easy to spot the American in a crowd. My wife and I ply the game often…especially if we are travelling ourselves…SPOT THE AMERICAN! When you do find one, it jolts you to remember, ‘don’t act like that.’ Don’t be loud. Don’t talk to people that don’t want to be talked to. Don’t give your opinion about every aspect of what is around you. Don’t complain about the service…it only begets you worse service.

Would that Belgian beer be Hoegaarden (cue Homer drooling sound)?
