    Yeah, exactly.
    I even said that it's probably currency that made him confused and not his lacking skills in math.

      You have to keep in mind that American tourists in Europe are not a representative sample of Americans.

      It's getting better I think, the younger generations of Americans are more clued up about the rest of the world.

      It used to be worse in the past when most Americans you met in Europe were rich middle aged ones on their first trip abroad and US news was reported as though there was no other country on the Earth.

        That's funny to me 'cause I never felt nor thought that way and I'm definitely not young

          Yeah, that's true. I even think that the Bush administration did a great job at making the rest of the world pretty pissed off, and the ones that actually travel are aware of that.

          And I can only speak from my experience, maybe everything is different in US then what it seems from here.

          But a change in attitude has been noticed by me in tourists.

            If I tell you that a 6 pack of Somersby Pear Cider is 6 dollars and 38 cents, how many crowns is that? Don't google it

                  that's right , 4 pack Have you ever tried it? It's so drinkable to us who don't like the taste of alcohol. Maybe it's sort of like those wine coolers you mentioned.

                    No, I don't like pears . But it's probably just like a wine cooler - which I also don't like Speaking of wine coolers and Americans you should go to YouTube and search for Bruce Willis wine cooler commercial. Good for a laugh

                      I was including us in the young group.

                      Americans our age are much more aware than the 50+ generation ten years ago, i.e. the now 60+.

                          God, you're like my brother. He says Somersby tastes like cough syrup
                          Didn't know Bruce had any other job then saving the world. Funny commercial

                                Its the TV show that made Bruce Willis famous. His character was completely different than the guy you know from the movies. It was a great show. You may be able to stream it online.
