[QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jamsie Cottar: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [qb] Albino, Jumping to ridiculous assumptions seems remarkably easy for you. Your laughable assertion that I am trying to sell something illustrates this...as does your claim to speak for all American travellers. You don't. You speak only for yourself. Clearly, you are unable to see beyond your individual needs, as you apply your personal circumstances to a general debate. I mentioned the Nile cruise to illustrate only that there are good value packages out there for American tourists. Never have I suggested that this is the only holiday option available. People are free to buy their tours/flights from anyone they please. If you choose not to shop around and trust only American agents, don't whine when you get a bad deal. Your fixation with Mormons, is as inexplicable as the incoherent direction of your responses. You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. Learn the difference. [/qb][/QUOTE]OUCH!!! bet that hurt more than the tooth!! yikes............. :D [/qb][/QUOTE]Ahh, No it just comes to prove that Europeans just see Americans as dollar signs and won't respect you no matter how much money you spend. I was a assistant to a professional in an investment firm who had to make business trips to Europe constantly. He hated Europe and how they treated him to no avail. He is an extremely nice guy who speaks 4 languages and has a degree in "European History" with an MBA, so I isn't just out of the sticks. You can't trust these Europeans. Americans who havn't spent alot of time around Europeans look up to Europeans because that is where the heritage is from, so they assume its a homecoming and a natural bond between two white people. Obviously the family history hasn't been handed down to the current generation because white people left Europe for obvious reasons. A family friend taught French in High School for many years and switched to teaching Spanish just a few years ago because of the torment of organizing those blasted "France Tours". Year over Year he had to deal directly with the French in their lanaguage (He knew Germans had the luxury of the French conversing in German to them) and watching no matter how hard he tried bus schedules, train schedules and hotel accomodations were always botched just to make a nightmare of coordination for the French Instruction. Alot of high schools are switching to Spanish, Chinese and Arabic courses and dropping French. I wouldn't doubt those class trips "French Tours" were being botched on purpose so often it has driven the interest off. SeeWhatYouSee jumped on this thread in an effort to sell Americans something. Using my unpopularity with the ES addicted, the more vocal usernames, not the lurchers (and I wouldn't doubt the lurchers have more money to spend on Nile Cruises and don't have to do FOTs (Family Obligated Trips)). I tried to explain to her that she is beating a dead horse, but no avail. And I got the "Tigerweed" and "ExpatinCAI" type responses I needed to pepper the association with SeeWhatYouSee to prove my point about the European mindset. Americans who havn't been overseas much will always look to any European as a trustworthy family archeotype, and association of heritage. These Americans don't carry on family history because there is nothing to be proud of and don't remember what Europe was really like. I am not easily pursuaded in this manner. [/QB][/QUOTE]
