I don't know about now, but when I traveled, extensively, twenty or so years ago, ugly Americans were prevalent.

Off to Foreign Lands By Franklin Price 5/15/2018 Off to foreign lands exotic Tilting at windmills so Quixotic Know not much of what I should expect Different language place to place To put a smile upon my face My accent and my words are not correct Crossing one of two large oceans Keeping me from food and potions Ones I thought that I would never see Here's something I should say About these places far away They should be speaking good old English just like me I speak not a word of thinking this, Of these foreign places, I'm a fan Don't want to appear uncaring Another ugly, not so smart, American
