I hope when Aklim travels the world he claims to be Canadian; we Americans have a bad enough reputation!:D

They are correct and they aren't being racists by any means, Indians are penny pinchers of the first order, thats how they gobble up 42% of World's gold and 32% of diamonds.

We get many Chinese tourists here and I am yet to see one ogle at any women, either in US or India, OTOH, throw in a bunch of FOB Indians and watch their eyes literally popping out of their sockets at the first sight of a attractive woman.

Women are still a commodity across the globe, strip bars are prime example if there is ever any.

In my travels, I've found Americans to be the worst. Especially in Europe. I almost want to go around behind them and apologize to everyone. We've had many French (relatives, and exchange students) stay here, and they've always been fine.

If anyone has spent an extended amount of time in the BVI which is the vacation melting pot you will get an almost unanimous vote for the French, they don't limit their rudeness to locals and workers they also try to piss off other tourists, I've seen more fights in the BVI than all college bars combined. A very close second is flotilla's of Puerto Ricans that cruise on their power boats and speak to each other via loudspeaker sometimes you can hear them on other Islands. and if you pissed off the gods enough they will come to your mooring and take it, I've personally seen them unhook a boat, setting it adrift to take the mooring.

What are you talking about, they love him in Amsterdam. I heard they have erected(pun intended) a shrine to him in "The District," that rival the colossal(sp) statues in the Valley of the Dead in Eqypt.

I did not have sex with any women in Amsterdam. I would like to but never did.
