This is a series of posts about things that i have a problem with. It's mostly everyday things and don't merge with politics and stuff. Also i try to maintain a mixture of irony,fun and truth in order to show what the actual problem is and ofc for everyone that reads it to have a little bit of fun doing so.
In case you wanna read the previous parts which are related to the smokers and my problem with them click below:
The Problem
I like travelling a lot and i think a person that has visited a bunch of countries can have a better perspective of how things are as well as a better understanding about some cultural differences. At the same time anyone can actually realize that most of the people around the world want the same things and that we are not that different after all.
I have been in a couple of European Countries and i have witnessed a strange attitude coming from most of them. I should say beforehand that i am not talking about every single country in Europe nor i have something against Europe ( nah i don't wanna bomb them), i am a European too!
So in a couple of countries its people are a bit cold towards tourists. They look you like you are a scam or something and even if you ask them for help (directions etc etc) they don't seem so willing, it's more like you are a nuisance at that time.
Asking for directions? In a foreign country? The Natives? Omg guys look at how many sins you committed! You deserve hell
Aside from that the bigger issue for me is the language. I get it that they can't speak my language and i have no demands to that but they don't speak English either. I should probably say that clearer:
THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU ENGLISH
They know the language, they understand perfectly what the tourists say to them but they keep insisting on replying to their language. How are we suppose to understand? In their minds it's like their language is the best, we came at their country so we are obliged to know what they are saying.
Hurry up get on your knees apologize to their Majesty, kiss their feet and apologize for not knowing their language
Ofc that don't work vice-versa, when they are on another country for tourism they just speak to English. The saddest part is stores or restaurants were basically you give them your money for their service and they keep talking in their mother language. How am i suppose to order when i can't understand shit?
Quickly go turn yourselves in for the crime that you committed!
