When I lived overseas I always tried to order in the local language. What's this order in English all of the time? Did you even try to speak the local language?

It's called courtesy and respect. And, yes, the illegals don't have it either.

Amazing. Did you know how to speak every language of every country you went to in Europe before you ever got there?

For you information I do know a bit of German so I did order things in German while I was there. But, I also did alot of travelling to places like Belgium (I don't know Flemish), the Netherlands (I don't know Dutch), Italy (I don't know very much Italian), Luxembourg (I don't know French), Poland (I don't know Polish), Czech Republic (don't know Czech), and Spain (I don't know very much Spanish). I did the best I could to use whatever words I could pick up during the short periods of time I was in those countries, but not once was I refused service anywhere because my grasp on their language wasn't up to their standards.

But thank you for implying that I don't have courtesy and respect when you know absolutely nothing about me.
