And a lot of my friends in Europe tell me that even if they are a bit loud and weird, Americans aren't the worst. I have been told be some of my friends in Spain and Italy that the worst travelers are the young English women who get outrageously drunk and pass out in the streets.

And I tell you German groups are the worst. There's hardly Europe-wide consensus on that one though.

As for Americans, I never disliked them and they certainly aren't the worst. Sure, there were some traits I and others considered as annoying as US specific, but that's not so much that they are loud (ok maybe a bit), but rather that the maybe a bitt too intrusive nature of American's general life enthusiasm is coupled with a bit of superficiality. That's certainly not a fair assessment though, I only really came across exchange students that were in Europe for the drinking, which might not be a typical US tourist. In general, the spirits and optimism were appreciated, at least by me.

I guess many people in my country would judge by the best-known American person here that we hear chat sometimes, which usually is Lindsey Vonn.

Well, first we just went with the dick coins for several years. And it's not like some official came out afterwards and told us the coins need to be changed because of the obvious genitalia on them. We changed them back in 07 because Slovenia joined the EU, at least officially.
