Well not according to Stony!
Congratulations, my fellow Americans. According to a recent survey, not only is the U.S. not the rudest place on earth, but we're not even in the top five.
France is the rudest place in world to visit with nearly one-fifth of votes, based on travel website Skyscanner.com's ranking. “This seems to be a fairly common stereotype, albeit not one which is necessarily true,” Sam Baldwin, Skyscanner's travel editor told the International Business Times,.
Russia, the U.K. and Germany rounded out the top four most unfriendly countries to visit. The U.S. was ranked seventh after "Other" and China, and apparently play better hosts than tourists. Americans recently topped another poll as the world's worst tourists, but the majority of the respondents in that survey were ironically American.
Same in the UK though.
but no one believes it......
I drink it myself and I am still alive! But not happy all the time!
Eish,, so that means my shares with you are rock bottom..
It's a bit salty, but has a real kick to it.
I guess there are exceptions, but the few I know are good guys. Maybe you know how to 'handle' yours??
Now I can die a happy man,,,
