I was in Japan last year. We went to a very secluded but still pretty well known village and stayed at a guest house. On our last day 2 American couples came, the silence which was present and the calm and relaxing environment immediately disappeared. They were loud, invasive and frankly just dumb. One of them started talking to me and when I said I was from a former Yugoslavian country he IMMEDIATELY said "oh from the dictatorship land, glad we freed you guys, your welcome" I'm dead serious.

I know not all Americans are like this, but 9/10 times my experience is just plain bad.
