In fact, some Americans I am very fond of :)<br /><br />They seem to keep the denim shorts etc when overseas too - I have spotted them in Japan (where noone wears shorts), Thailand and Malaysia - that said, I am sure they are just the more noticeable ones (amazing how some people draw attention to themselves - one reason I avoid places where there are too many Australians - loud drunk Australians are very embarrassing!)<br /><br />So glad I am not the only one to find the flag thing odd. I mean, it is a cute flag and all, but tooo much! (and lol my kids have some American clothes I bought in lots from ebay and so even they have worn clothes with the US flag...:D)Wicked Witch of the Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003458713764591195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980420939450349702.post-14090416695553490332010-06-22T00:35:52.976+08:002010-06-22T00:35:52.976+08:00Oh dear, I hope you won't judge all America on...Oh dear, I hope you won't judge all America on Disney and Vegas, those are some weird places! <br /><br />I honestly don't know where these "tourist" Americans come from. No one in my regular life wears denim shorts and white socks with fanny packs, but people off to visit another part of the country always seem to. <br /><br />You're right about the flags, though. Everywhere! It's ridiculous. People have flags on their cars, their houses, their clothes, etc. I find it incredibly obnoxious and I've lived in America all my life.Ambaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928793933638999583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980420939450349702.post-11122340708943354172010-01-24T14:22:25.445+08:002010-01-24T14:22:25.445+08:00@ Amrit Thanks for visiting.

And hmmm I get a feeling that you are familiar with the American in their natural habitat perhaps...don't know why...just a feeling...<br /><br />@ Love is Green! Yep, straight from the horse's mouth :D And yes, I can totally understand the need for escape...and of course the lure of India... And um, my 'big boss' wears white socks to work :D We regard him as being a cool non-conformist for this though... I'm not sure whether it was the blinding whiteness or the way the socks made their legs look kinda...nerdy...Wicked Witch of the Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003458713764591195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980420939450349702.post-47732299546445335052010-01-23T00:24:08.224+08:002010-01-23T00:24:08.224+08:00LMAO...so true...and I"M STUCK HERE WITH THEM...LMAO...so true...and I"M STUCK HERE WITH THEM!
