I've always heard that and in my american studies class the professor said the same thing. Not only from clothes but also in the way we carry ourselves. :ermm:

Someone should get a general pic that compares US dress to "foreign" (english) dress for me :)

Americans tend to walk down the street looking at everything. Allot of the Europeans walk in a focused manner with a point A to B mindset. American also tend to make allot of eye contact with people and sometimes other countries do not do that to the extent that Americans do.

In Germany I would go to the local market on a Saturday morning in a pair of jeans and a tshirt and I would be the only one in there that was not wearing nice clothes. I will look for an example to show you.

OK I looked and it is hard to give an example. Basically, what they wear everyday may be considered something that you would wear for a nite on the town or going out to a nice club. Americans would consider it dressing up or GQ.

preppy is how i would describe american fashion, that and fat.

I've found Russians no1 in worst mannered with the Koreans a close second.

For the best mannered the Japanese, Canadians and Americans :)

Russians got nothin' on Argentinians.

I actually had an Argentinian spit in my food before. Luckily, he was an idiot so I did not actually ingest any of the spit laced food, but it's the thought of it that was offensive to me.

so had it been a non-idiot who spat in your food, you would have eaten it?

he ran his mouth about it, and it got back to me beforehand.

remind me to spit in yours if i come to your island.

Maybe that's where you live.

I dress quite nicely....even when I am working as an outside technician.:snooty:

Also when you say American look at everything, well duh if they've never been there maybe so. I imagine my second time to the same city in Mehico, I might not be as observant to my surroundings since they are nothing new.

When I encounter European tourists in DC, they look around like fuck but not as much Japanese.

Tourists suck. Fact.
