My family and I were walking up from the beach in Barcelona past all the bars filled with drunk Englishmen when I saw England was down 2-1 to Iceland. I told my wife we needed to get out of there before the match ended. English tourists in Europe make Americans look like model world citizens which is saying something. It’s almost like they don’t know know the world views them as America’s kid brother.

Lol, you think it’s just Europe. People like to think the British Empire was for imperialism, commerce and prestige but in reality we were just looking for the best places to get bevved up.

Please don’t confuse the idiots of a few football fans with the rest of the law abiding football fans and other tourists.

It would be so easy to mix the idiotic American tourists with the nice pleasant tourists I’ve met in the Holland, Germany, France and the U.K.

You’ve met pleasant Americam tourists? I thought I was the only one. There’s plenty of friendly English tourists, but even the friendly ones are trying to order stuff not on the menus in English, and have no idea what the Spanish/Catalán items are. Also, these dudes weren’t hooligans. They were H&M wearing 18-35 year-olds who would get their asses handed to them if any of the soccer fans in Barcelona gave a a shit about international play.

You’re like the Irish. You like to drink, but you can’t actually drink. (My alcoholic grandfather was Irish so no one get on me about being an asshole).

Yes. I’ve met many pleasant American’s in the U.K. (except a couple of Texans where nothing was big enough for them) and several in mainland Europe and some down right rude obnoxious idiots.

Spain and the Balearic islands are the U.K.s youth holiday areas. Yes there are many drunken idiots but isn’t Cancun the same for American teenagers, etc...

If you go away from the bit cities and tourist traps you’ll find very different tourists from all over the world.

Mexico is a third world country which is experiencing a lot of violence that is mainly caused by drug use and drug policies of the US. The Mexican government is super corrupt but sets up “safety zones” so Americans can vacation while at the same time fucking over their own people. You’re an asshole if you vacation in Cancún.

Little anecdote from today. While waiting in line at the passport check heading out to Paris, an British lady cut half the line. She cut right in front of an Asian family who didn't say anything, but the French people behind me yelled something at her. I'm like, come on lady, have some self awareness.

I have never actually seen Canadian Bacon in it’s entirety. Just various clips lol.

But I assure you, especially here in Alberta, it’s pretty much pickup trucks, snow, guns, and hockey.
