| If you want to see America in other ways, do check out the jimhightower site. Rather amusing. By the way, I'm a big fan of the English as long as they stop coming to France. Enough is enough. The Dutch as well. My friends in the Drôme tell me this. Here we go....another forum.
PS. I don't know if things have changed but when hitchiking in Scotland/Wales/Ireland, I was never picked-up by an English tourist.I often got the famous two fingers as well. Belgians, Russians, locals, etc. yes. Even a regular bus going to Oban. Why? I never understood. When I think about it though many of them were driving Minis filled to hilt with bagage in those days. Just no room for jerks like me in their car, I guess. It must be noted that when I was on my own I would walk for miles talking to sheep often under the rain and....saying to myself..."what the hell am I doing here!!!". The UK was a paradise for an American student. Met some really nice gals as well. I won't even talk about the pubs and the great folk I met on the way. Often English. Trust me. Viva the UK.  |
