      This one tripped me up, because my friends were there around 10 years ago and they told me their Canadian passport saved them a couple of times from some people being hostile towards Americans.

        Your username and avatar gave me a good chuckle. Made me think of the “how do you know someone is vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.” joke. I do hope you’re actually vegan though, and it’s not some shitty parody (I never go and look through peoples comments, just feels shitty, so I don’t know).

        I’m vegan, BTW.

      There’s a lot of people wearing specifically American cultural clothes here (NY hats, t-shirts with the US flag or names of baseball teams on them, lots of the motorbike helmets are available with American movie references on them)

      I think that US propaganda has worked very well here in the past, and all of the fuckups are sufficiently far away that most people don’t care about them at all.
