In Canada the experience is similar, especially among Germans who have come here. Always the same shit, like how much better Germany is. Brits here come for work, and are generally rude, though one guy I know, who is very old, came here to escape the slow moving destruction of Britain way back in the 70s. He hates May.
My best friend in NYC was a tour guide, German-speaking, in the late 80s. The minute she picked up the tourists, they wanted to go see the South Bronx which was in very bad shape at the time. They loved anti-American “poverty porn”. She refused to take them because she had a set schedule and that wasn’t on it! It bewildered her.
