i found myself acting like an ugly american last week. i'm not going to share the details of it but i did it unknowingly. i still have a lot to learn about this crazy culture. when i return to the states, i will be a "fob" as the hip kids say.
when i'm out with a bunch of american friends, they cant help but to be ugly americans. they dont bother asking the token asian guy with them if it's proper to act that way. do i stop them? no, i tend to do the opposite and egg them on. then i pretend i dont know them and scoff at the ugly americans along with "my people." i'm much smarter now with the people i roll with. my posse consists of people that actually want to know the culture and be a part of it; people who want to escape the americans and immerse themselves with our gracious host country.
