It's kinda cute ..the dumb questions Americans ask us. For example" Our the winters up here much colder? Or the one asked me the other day: How can i get back to our ship? I told him just to walk downhill[it was tied up within viewing distance at the time] I worry about their safety tho. Standing in the middle of crosswalks in heavy traffic and snapping photos seems just a bit dangerous to me,but so far none of our crazy drivers have run them down. I was asked about things they should see while in town ,so I rattled off a list of places that weren't tourist traps that wouldn't cost them a cent to view, but they headed straight for the shops.

Rather doubt they have much disposable cash with them[their economy is shot],but if they want to spend..might as well leave it at our local stores. I've only ever met 1 "ugly American' type & that was many years ago.Our buck is below 80centsUS, so they could have gotten some darn good deals
