Yep you qualify as the standard ugly American. Throw your money around and watch them laugh at you behind your back. Really get to know them and then get back to me.

Nope I am not an ugly American. I do vacation in foreign countries that spend a lot of money on their tourism boards to attract my interest. I dont throw my money around, however I do tip well for services rendered. I do eat the food that is grown locally, thus supporting the farmers. Gosh that cab driver that I hired has a family to go home to at the end of the day. Hopefully there is a steak on the table, because he does a days work. I do have the utmost respect for the host citizens wherever I travel.
Great Gran, perhaps you should wander off your mountain perch and throw some of your ugly American money at one of the shops in Bailey or Conifer. There is a lot of countryside to understand.
BTW Blondie talking about spending money at shops in Bailey or Conifer I will guarantee you that I have spent more money and donated more time hands down on our local communities than you ever have. OK now part of it is that I am more than likely a lot older than you and spend a huge amount of time in volunteer activities. What have you done besides spend money on a taxi in a foreign country that benefits a family. Ugly Americans deserve their name, although I like their other names, not printable, better.
