Stribe, when I backpacked through Europe, I found a genuine hatred of American travelers. Rude, loud, expecting everyone to speak English - no matter where they are, saying stuff like, "The Italian (food) in Long Island is better than the Italian in Naples." If someone uses their flash in the Sistene Chapel, you can bet it's an American.

And they loved Canadians. I also noticed Canadians sew maple leaf flags to their backpack - to differentiate themselves from their from their friends down south.

I'm not trashing my country, just making a very true observation. It's mostly the Americans who find the Parisians rude.
