Honestly what’s weird is I am now working with Russians and I have the opportunity to go work / live in St Petersburg. Ten years ago that wouldn’t be tempting. Now? It’s absurd how stark the contrast is with my immediate liberal coworkers and the Russian ones. The locals are all freaking about Covid and the Russians are all “shut up it’s a cold” and don’t even wanna delegate time to the BS. The Russians also refuse to over complicate code and the local cats always want to reinvent the wheel and make buggy shit
The term “ugly Americans” is completely VALID. Worked in Arabia 7 years, & mideast 12. ONLY problems at work or at home American generated. We used to dread going home due to drama generated by the wives. Man, I got stories.
Would love to hear some of those stories. I lived in Bavaria for a year and when friends / Americans came to visit it was SO OBVIOUS as they were so obnoxious. Repeatedly Germans would kick them out of Restaurants etc.
There’s a word for what most Americans lack (several actually); “couth”.
