I don't think the US was #1 because there are so many other states where people aren't as rude and rushed as in the big cities like Chicago for you Arrow and NYC where I live. I agree New Yorkers are too rude. Lots of my friends talk about how much they hate tourists and it angers me because tourism makes us big bucks so why complain? I've been mistaken for a tourist, probably because I like to carry a camera around and take pictures, and I often look lost and confused even if I'm not, who knows. Some have been rude, most people just rush around and ignore, but a few have been kind and helpful. I wonder what Enti thinks, I took him touring around NYC and a woman did assume I was a tourist when I asked her something, how does he think NY compares to Chicago and with Wisconsin too? Arrow have you ever been confused for a tourist?
