I guess every country has their undesirables. Too bad they like to travel and create stereotypes wherever they go. @Meneer – Yikes, that was an embarrassing mistake on my part brought about by trying to answer a comment before I’ve had my second cup of morning coffee…:-)

The dutch live in Holland (aka the Netherlands). The fine in advance is for one specific town. (Lloret de Mar). One that is extremely popular with our ehm .. what you call trailer-trash in the states. (but we don't have trailer parks). Teens (age 15-25) come to drink, sex and fight. They go to dance at disco's with dutch names. They eat at snackbars with dutch names. They have to pay 150 euro's on the bus (where they are already getting drunk). Their passports are taking. On the way back, they get their passport back and their money, if they behaved. The rules are explained in the bus, in dutch. They do not see or hear any spanish word during their holiday. The fire-department keeps the beaches there wet at night, so it isn't filled with condoms the next morning. If you would have to base an opinion about us while only meeting those people, you would be suprised our prime minister can even tie his shoes. Likewise, in Amsterdam, we get a lot of male british tourists. They come with the bus and the boat. They arrive drunk, visit prostitutes and get extremely drunk. If it weren't for the pot, they would be a problem too. Thankfully those idiots usually get so high they fall asleep on the streets (and get mugged). The danish live in Denmark.

Danish tourists really get a fine in advance when they visit the costa del sol? That is hilarious. Perhaps American tourists just need monetary incentive to curb some of their obnoxious behavior as well...:-) @Meneer – I stand corrected on my analogy.

Yes. Nevertheless it was not completely correct. The american tourists in Paris I assume are much nicer, than those that visit Amsterdam. (i should know) Likewise the dutch that visit the states, are generally nice, educated people. Those that go to the costa del sol (the beaches of spain) behave like complete animals. They actually get a fine in advance there. (when they don't break anything and do not get arrested they get the money back) >The analogy about how Americans are viewed abroad really was only secondary to the point I was trying to make in the post.

That is high praise indeed. I am constantly fighting the same struggle of ruthlessly trimming my rss feeds only to discover a new blog I like. The democratization of publishing makes things both exciting and overwhelming. I am constantly wishing that I had more time to read all the good content that I know I am missing on a regular basis. @Guillaume – Thank you! That is high praise indeed.
