I've never met one person offended by me thanking them and giving them cash. I've been flying internationally for 30 plus on every continent. Good manners, kind words and tips have always been appreciated.
I'm not fat, don't wear politcal message hats and fly for people who don't fly on commercial airlines. So your experience is probably different from my own.

I agree with all you said and I am generous with the cash as well, but it is true, in general, in some countries, severs do not expect tips and are mildly offended by it as it implies that that they are not doing their job properly, in a lot of countries the server’s job is paid a livable wage and that’s how they are making their living

I’ve only had minor issues in downtown Tokyo. The other countries were great, especially Italy and Iceland

Eh, I don't think that people in Italy are homophobic. In fact, most men in Italy would seem pretty gay in America.

Someone on here months ago gave a review of trip to Italy and said the same thing about pizza being horrible. Many that commented agreed. I can't say one way or another though as I've never been.

100%. Their media is worse than CNN and MSNBC.
A lot of the Europeans I work with actually thought Joe Biden was an intelligent speaker. I was like uhhh…

that’s because we’ve ‘murcanized everything, similar to our “Mexican” food

Muslim countries (pretty justifiably TBH) hate America.
Europeans sometimes do and sometimes don't hate America.
Canada is increasingly coming to hate America.

Most men in Western Europe actually.
Northern UK is the only place where men seem to have +500 testosterone levels.

Pizza is really an American food, not an Italian food. I'm surprised how many people don't realize this.

Real italian food is disappointing. S & M is a American thing, you won't hardly find it in Italy. Also you will be disappointed in their version of pizza as well.

Yeah. But I think that Italian men seem the gayest of all, even compared to other Europeans.

Do you normally get weird vibes when you travel abroad? We don’t.
