What are your experiences with American tourists? How can you identify an American without hearing them speak? I've never left the country, so I wanna know.

We don't tuck in our shirts. Europeans ALWAYS tuck in their shirts.
>How can you identify an American without hearing them speak
They are white and way taller than us. They also use cargo shorts in fucking Bogota which is cold as fuck.
By English speech lol. For some reason the British and other English-speaking people do not come here, only Americans.
Fuck Russia. I kinda wanna visit StP and Moscow tho. Fun fact: Yanks call it moss-cow (pic related) we say moss-co -- I know we're closer, lol.
But we probably are there, we're just not loud AF. Yanks are noticeable for their dress sense in London desu. Imagine Germshits but fatter and more obvious and badly dressed.
British tourists are incredibly loud. I'm from the Northeastern US (probably the loudest part of the US) and I was always embarrassed to be around Brits in continental Europe. Not just loud, but the incessant whining and complaining about literally everything... you guys are not much fun unless you're shitfaced, and even then it's a gamble.
>coping this hard
Yeah I'm going to base my opinion of Americans off my experience in Cancun. FFS.
Burgers are quality in their own country. In London they are either walking clichés or slick businessmen. No inbetween.
I lived in France for several years. I speak fluent French, but I have an accent. Most French people cannot "hear" an American accent (because they're so rare). It would be like me asking you to identify somebody from Slovenia based on their accent. You might be able to guess that they're Eastern European, but you wouldn't be able to know they were from Slovenia. That's how the French are with American accents in French. They know it sounds Germanic, but they don't know it's American. So, people would often assume I was German. (I'm not all fucked up in the face so they knew I wasn't British.)
French people also can't tell the different between Americans and Brits speaking English, namely because French people have terrible English skills. I'm sure this would be very different in a place like, say, Sweden. So, when French people would hear a group of us speaking English, they would always assume we were all British, unless there were obvious markers (like, literally, a flag patch).
(I had nothing but positive experiences with French people. I include all French people in that, not just the white ones. Most are very curious and are happy to exchange cultural experiences. A few are pig-headed and will try to lecture you about the US while basing their opinions largely on sensational media and Hollywood movies.)
Anyways, that's my experience as an American. I know you were looking for non-American answers, but I just wanted to give you a real one in case you got nothing but shit.
I said continental Europe, not San Sebastian, you whinging pom
Most British tourists in Europe are low quality. Otherwise they would be in New York or LA
I literally don't believe you.
I know the French.. Mon francais est san bien. They always clock onto me being English and I'm better looking than you :^)
They recognise you as being German because most Yanks are..
continetal europe is our playground.
san sebastian is mainly a yank thing.. running of the bulls and that right?
and yeah, that was my point comparing us in europe to yours in cancun.
>How can you identify an American without hearing them speak
The clothes.
It's always the clothes.
Your French is shit
They know you're English from the sunburns and the ugly face
>But we probably are there, we're just not loud AF.
Are you joking or what? In Istanbul and Pattaya, where I was, British tourists behaved disgustingly. Drunken orgies were everywhere. Much worse than Chinese and Russian tourists.
>san sebastian is mainly a yank thing
no it's not
>running of the bulls
you mean pamplona?
>It's always the clothes.
This, really. Americans ALWAYS stick out due to how staggeringly different fashion norms are here compared to elsewhere. Europeans always think we look like shit until they start buying the shit we're wearing ten years too late, and then the cycle repeats itself.
Thanks for the complliment burgersan :3
Kek. I tan better than you, my german lobster friend. Dog bless these celtic genes.
I don't care if my french is shit; maybe that's what seperates us??
I will unironically say "2 crossant please" in a Parisian bakery, thot behind the counter will unironically go "oh nonnonnonnon" while the queue builds up behind me (she understood but was being tsundere) and I'll say "deux cwassant si vous plait" showing them the two fingers the british to french way to drive the point home. True story.
You sound way to respectful to be mistaken for a true Brit.
Meant to reply to this fella
Americans look really weird in Europe, if they aren't dressed very neutrally (slacks with button-down tucked in with belt)
European fashions are usually a few years behind. Give it twenty years and they'll be going to the boulangerie in their sweatpants
Lies. Different tourists go to different places at the end of the day.
Yes it is. And isn't san sebastian = pamplona? same thing right?
Well, I did say it in my OP too desu
I'm very happy for you that you have such an active imagination; I'm sure it provides you with lots of entertainment in your moments of loneliness. But it never quite feels the same as the real thing, does it?
>European fashions are usually a few years behind. Give it twenty years and they'll be going to the boulangerie in their sweatpants
Dude you're either honestly delusional or just compensating for feeling insecure. There's no need it's not a big deal.
All the best fashion houses are and always have been in Europe. Europe dictates European fashion. You'd do well to take notes.
Lad, I'm far too autistic to imagine things. As I said... True story.
I'd wager my French is better than yours, accent at least. There's a lot of similar words and stuff, can always make myself understood.
You lived in France for a bit? Big whoop. I've been to France more times than you've left your state.
JAY SWEE UNGLAZE
PARLAY VOOZ UNGLAZE?
Why do we always get shat on for having casual fashion sense. Brazil and Australia are just as guilty as us
Dont know about Australia but you're definitely right about Brazil
>You sound way to respectful to be mistaken for a true Brit.
That's a good thing
fannypacks. they all wear fannypacks and sit on the fucking dirty stairs like they're some kind of replacement seat.
you also always see them eating trail mix and talking about "the atmosphere"
>touring Scottish castle
>having informative conversation with tour guide
>fat American bitch interrupts us without so much as an "excuse me" and starts ranting about how she can trace her roots back to Robert the Bruce
lmao based annoying bitch
>That's a good thing
This year we're going to send undercover SAS lads to mosscow (moo) to BTFO your football fans. Just giving you the heads up here.
>cold as fuck
No it's not
>we're just not loud AF
You people are considered the worst tourists in Florida.
Funny angloboii. It's amazing to watch your loud mouths shrivel when confronted by actual men
You sound like a massive faggot.
I only own tee shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes and Im 25
Usually it's the way they look when I start suspecting that someone is american. You know, fat, huge t-shirt, colourful shoes, cap, or then a college hoodie. And for accent you can't really go wrong, or maybe not accent but just the way they talk is very easy to spot
>clothes
Either the dad jeans and ugly new balance kind or the leggings/basketball Shorts and tank top kind usually
>accessories
Some kind of bottle or drink. That's an important clue. Although younger people here are starting to do it, having a water bottle or coffee at all time of the day or night looks suspiciously American to me.
>behaviour
Generally slow and look completely unaware of their surroundings, granted that can be said about most tourists regardless of their nationality.
They're usually very loud. That again is true for most tourists, but Americans have this strange ability to get very loud without seemingly raising their voice. Just get 3 of them together somewhere and before you know it they'll be the loudest people around.
