I ordered a mixed drink and the tender said i could drink the whiskey straight. So i went next door.
And in paris most people were really nice. Barcelona was another place where tourists say they feel unwelcome. And i saw anti tourist graffiti but no personal experiences.

If your family is overweight and dressed like shite, you will be treated like a lazy, stupid American. Also, whenever I was with a group of people overseas, the bottom falls out once you start making American-like demands and disrespecting the culture or cuisine.

Show respect and you will get respect. This starts with appearance every day.

In Europe now

Everyone is super friendly and helpful. They detest trump, so I have something in common with them. Maybe that’s why I get along great with them. I think Europeans are nicer than most Americans.


Stay there.

I bring packs of Louisiana or Crystal hot sauce with me every time i travel. I need spice on my food.
French food didn't need seasoning really. The Dutch food i had to drench in the sauce. I also carry Magic redfish seasoning.


Jesus.

I have traveled a good bit, mainly to Europe. Closest thing to this I encountered was an older Brit in Italy said he really didn’t like Trump. He never found out if I did or not. I was their to see Italy not talk politics with a limey asshat crisis averted

appearance


Matters in every single country every single day.

People who think it doesn’t play a role in how things play out for them they are ignorant.

You don’t have to have money to look presentable. Brush your hair, shave your face, and wear clean clothes. There’s tons of nice shite at Walmart no one would be able to tell the difference or even care unless they are shallow.

Several times. North to south. In fact, I'm flying into Milan on the 13th for a trip to Bologna and the Dolomites.

Where have you been there? I still assert that your statement about phony American Italian food being better is total bull.

I’m just giving you shite. You are very helpful to folks on the Travel Board, and I’m on your side. I don’t know what this guy is talking about with the food.

You sure you've been to Europe? The idea that everyone over there is fit and healthy is a laughable myth.
