Ways to spot an American


Any one of these clues, or a combination of them, might indicate an American in a foreign country:

-drinks out of a re-useable water bottle
-carries Vera Bradley luggage
-speaks in fluent English
-has impeccably straight (and white) teeth
-doesn’t share Tapas
-orders more than one bottle of soda (always needs a refill)
-doesn’t show their ID when paying with a credit card
-wears a college sweatshirt
-has red hair
-uses a washcloth, rather than a bath mitten or a body sponge
-has a North Face jacket
-makes jokes about Carrefour being like Walmart
-responds to street Gypsies
-over-tips the waiters

*This list is subject to constant revision. Suggestions are welcome.
