It's funny listening to Americans complain about smokers, drinkers, proice of potato chips, food portions etc in Europe. One was a very perturbed group perplexed that smokers were smoking in the NoSmoking area at an airport and that the cops and airport authorities couldn't care less. I stood and watched; it was entertaining.

Works both ways. I've read comments by foreign-exchange students about how they viewed America in my local rag. While most of the students were very polite, there were a number who complained about some very trivial things. Incidentally the foreign students who complained the most tended to come from France.
