American Tourists Behaving Badly

It is always when you visit a museum, restaurant, bar/club, or pretty any place in Europe, you will find a bunch of Americans acting quite obnoxiously. Now, I am sure most tourists that come from US are quite friendly, but come on here!

On a train to Prague, Czech Republic from Dresden, Germany, loudest noise on the first class train car were Americans. Also notice them going to the bar the most, they were probably drunk by the time we got to the Prague main station.

At the Old Town Square in Prague, bunch of Americans pretending to count down to zero for the Astronomical Clock and saying awww. It was pissing off the other tourists trying to make sure they were there at the right time.

I will put more examples, but really, this is getting on my nerves, and making us look bad.

Plus, an American couple arguing over 30 czech koruna on a lunch check, for christ sake! they were arguing over the equivalent of one US dollar.

On a good note: Czech have one beer called "Budvar" not in any relation with America's Budweiser. By the way, Budvar is much better.

Funny, when I was in Estonia, they said it was always the Finns who were loud and obnoxious.
