If you are an American traveler, don't read this

Some like to call me American hater, but guess who are the worst people who behave when they go abroad:

We have seen the enemy and he is us. Or so indicates a new travel behavior survey to be released Friday by LivingSocial. 

Americans topped the list as being the worst-behaved travelers in a survey of 5,600 respondents, 4,000 of whom were Americans. Other respondents were in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. But even American respondents buttonholed their compatriots as the worst travelers from a list of 16 nationalities. (Canadians and Australians also put Americans in the No. 1 spot. Irish respondents pointed to U.K. residents and U.K. respondents gave Germans the nod. On the other hand, 37% of Americans opted for "none of the above" in answer to the worst-tourists question, displaying more tolerance and open-mindedness than the other nationalities.)

And worst of all, they seem to want to convey the image that most of them have gone overseas, which is not verifiable:

More surprising is that 78% of the American respondents said they'd visited at least one foreign country and 61% said they'd been to multiple foreign destinations. (That figure doesn't square with the fact that only about 37% of Americans possess a passport. Go figure.)

Anyway, read the whole entry, and find out who are the others worst travellers. But what I find funny, and interesting, that Americans see themselves as the worst travellers also.

Talk about American haters!!!
