Is it just Americans or is everyone weird?
Are you an American? Don’t be offended. This is not a racist post. Have you ever travelled outside of the US? If you have, you’d notice how different each country is from the other. But have you ever thought about what the other countries think about Americans? Or to put it slightly out there, what do Americans make others think about them?
Sometimes a certain group of people disappoints others due to their background. The culture they live in sets boundaries for all of them. It’s how they are brought up and how they communicate with the outside world, but let’s be honest that stupidity does exist after all. Be it any nationality.
And to prove it, these Americans asked some strange questions from foreigners, regardless of knowing the culture or region the other person is from. Some even made fools out of themselves while others confidently faced it.
Scroll down to see what they asked and whether they should be ashamed or not. Because I, for one, am shocked!
1. What did they think it was? A museum?
