I agree with everyone who said don't lie. I once talked to an Australian when we were in Ireland and he told me that he used to dislike Americans for their attempts to assert their culture on everyone else on the planet but now that he'd met a lot of us he realized that young people are kind of the same all over the place. They'll never know how cool some of us are if we all lie about it.

Say you're American if you're proud of it, but don't expect people to speak English. I've always heard that if you make a sincere effort to the langauge in question, they will help you out. Also, don't take pictures. If you spend your whole trip taking pictures, at the end of your trip all you will have are your pictures.

Good for you!

I just tell them i'm a Texan, and that's ususally enough.

Then they want to hear about my horse and know where my boots are, and what ranch i live on.

I was shocked to see this thread. Years ago when I was in high school and visited Europe on a student exchange trip, it was suggested for us to identify ourselves as Canadians.
