How Can I Look Even More American While Traveling In Europe
Unlike the other hand-wringing pansies posting in this newsgroup, I'm going
to spend some money this summer touring the broken down bastion of medieval
culture that is Europe, and while there, I want everyone to know, in advance
if possible, that I am American. Any tips that any of you Euro's can
provide me?
What clothing should I wear, what maps, cameras, suitcases, and types of
fanny packs would you recommend?
Don't worry, I will be loud, demanding, and probably flabbergasted with the
crappy quality of everything on your continent, but I am sensitive enough to
know that there is something to be gained by touring your society. I won't
stick around for long, that is of course, unless I decide to buy a villa or
two, maybe a townhouse on one of those quiet streets...Actually, I'll
probably need to buy two townhouses, then tear one down to make room for
parking my SUVs.
I know in advance that most of you can't stand me, the mixture of hate and
jealousy bringing the bile to your lips at my very sight! And you know
what, that makes the trip even more enjoyable!!
Excuse me now, I need to order some airline tickets.

You don't need any advice. You're a natural.

A harsh judgement, I think. The post satirises other discussions in
the group, which are more genuine trolls. I think Zemedelec missed the
point.

LOL!
I actually thought his post was pretty hysterical.
"maps, cameras, fanny packs..." LOL!
I have been to Europe a few times and have just cringed when I was in
a shop, post office, restaurant etc and overheard someone just like
that and it was not funny at the time. Still I loved his post.

[splork!!!]
The one problem with that proposal is that I think you're the wrong
gender for wearing a fanny pack to be a physical possibility in the
UK.

I saw a Hanson exhibition some years ago. I think that might have been
amongst them, or something like it. I had to look twice a some of them to
be sure they were models.

I was in central London yesterday and spent a little time
spotting US tourists. It was easy, man and son, short cut light
brown hair, shorts, bit overweight, obviously anglo saxon origin,
not much style, camera. Got closer, guide book stuffed sloppily
in back pocket "Londres". Oh well.
