saiyana; omfg italy had the most amazing pasta dishes didn't it? *-* <3333

Unfortunately, going abroad these days it is best to not let people know that you are Americans.

Why couldn't you say you where from America?

Ahhh wouldn't it be ovelry obvious that you are one! I guess saying your from canada is a good idea then

It's because a lot of foreign countries don't have a very good opinion of Americans right now.

Marquisse: Apparently American tourists have a bad rep >_>

I wish I had joined Engineers Without Borders at my school a few years ago. I'm graduating in a year so it's a bit late for me to join now :/

Though then what country do I say I'm from when I leave?

Yeah. ^^;; People haven't had a good view of Americans for a while so you shouldn't mention it everywhere if you go abroad. I went to europe 4 years ago. And it was advised to not mention that we were from America. But in Paris, some street vendors thought I was japanese... xD!

I was thinking about applying to the teach abroad program after I graduate to go and teach English in Japan for a year, but I may have to put that on hold so I can do the Greece trip.

Say you're from Canada.

Yes it did but I liked that when we went it was right in the middle of the artichoke season, artichokes are my second favorite food. Lobsters, artichokes and chocolate.

Nanenna; yah. i thought so too. but somehow people seem to bypass "Hawaii is the 50th American state" and go straight to "Hawaii is a paradise that I'd like to visit someday" LOL

it works in our favor. :3

Nannena, what is the white bow you're wearing? Is it a new item?

Alrighty I will keep that in mind then!

But don't people from Canda have an accent? Won't they know I have an american accent?

It is rather strange, but saying that you are from Texas also seems acceptable.
I think that abroad, they may not like Americans, but Hawaii and Texas seem to be special places to them.

I believe that the decorations were the correct items.
The ribbons will be a different item (possibly now?)

It was a glitch nanenna. They will be releasing the scarf you have on later on in the week. ^^; If you bake now, you'll get the stars. :3

Rei, I would then ask if you could tell the difference between a Mexican accent and another spanish-speaking country's accent (given that they were speaking English that is)

I don't think that most people can really tell :sweat:

Well I didn;t have any problems with anti-Americanism in Italy.

keyori; unless you're in england. XD!! I'm sure those people could tell.

Huh. I'd think they'd particularly dislike people from Texas. MAybe most foreigners don't connect the names of the individual states to being the same as "being from America" in general.

Rei, most people aren't going to know a Canadian accent, especially once you start getting into foreign languages and such. Just tell 'em you're from Canada and don't show anyone but officials your passport.
