Are some Americans tempermentally unsuited for foreign travel?
I saw a creepy video on AOL today. You may have seen it too.
An American on a Korean subway hears a word that if it were English would be insulting.
But it was not English, it was Korean and had no insulting meaning at all.
That did not appear to matter to the guy. On the video, he repeatedly cursed and slapped around an old Korean man and woman.
Americans abroad already face the reputation that they can be obnoxious tourists.
Should the State Department screen or train Americans before they get a passport?
