I tend to try and not

generalize entire countries--but in my experience yes. The difference between the U.S. and the Brits is we always try and blend in (can't do it) and they just be themselves (Nice grammar). So in Bahrain, our service women had to wear long pants, long sleeve shirts etc---the Gulf Air Stewardesses are walking around in hot pants and tank tops.

So I am walking to the Warbler to get liquored up--I mean get a bite to eat. The Warbler Burger was about a pound and a half of beef---mmmmm- anyway, I come around the corner and there is this huge line of Arabs waiting to get in. So I look at it and I'm thinking--nah, I'm not waiting. Then I hear--"Yo! Yank--Come on up mate--you don't need to wait behind that rabble." So in I go (immediately transported to England--teak, walnut, fireplace etc) and the place is mildly busy--but not packed. Cracked me up, the wanted it just the way they wanted it and who cares about the "rabble"
