Answer 3

To tell you the truth I was surprised at how unwelcome americans were in Europe. British people are the worst when it comes to americans though... Also you here a lot of other mean comments in other places aroung Europe directed towards americans.... It is quite sad. when u r in america u really dont realize how bad it is... If u ever go to England, i suggest u try and prove them wrong about how americans r... Their is a list of things i could write for u about why the english dont really like americans, but i am affraid that their is too much... but here is a few

~ we eat with are mouths open

~ Our government sucks, and their shouldnt be a war in iraq..

~ We talk to loud

~ we stole their language and ruined it.

~ ALL americans r FAT!

and their is soooo much more.

I live in germany now... ( i know i cant wait to move back to america.) and i was walking out of a grocery store and their was a guy that asked if i was british or american... when i said american. he got all mad and started talking about how great america was during the world war, but then just left germany and didnt help anymore after the war...

AND my school bus driver yelled at me because i put my foot up on the armrest.... saying "this is not america. we r not slobs here." i mean omg. Germans r sooo s****. and rude. and he is their telling me that!! like all americans go around putting their foot up on armrests!! how low.

AND i have this friend hanna, and she is german... but she moved to america and speaks english... but now she is back in germany... and she was beat up because she was acting "too american!"
