Each tourist season we collect these little anecdotes that American tourist seem so willing to provide. All we have to do is sit in the main plaza with pen and notebook in hand. Enjoy!.
Old American Male: What's there to do in this town?.Sweet Mexican woman: Have you tried visiting our city's churches?.Old American Male: I've been all over the world and have seen more churches than I care to remember. I don't need to see any more God d***ed churches.High School American girls: Oh my God, can you believe the toilet paper dispenser was OUTSIDE the stall?.American Restaurant Patron: I asked for a "real" taco.
American cab rider: I want "real" money in change and not pesos.American Student: Are all the Mexican women this fat?.American (Texan) Housewife: Do you realize just how corrupt your government is here?.American Freak-a-Zoid Hippie: I can't believe you Americans (expats) who want to live in such a poor country.American woman in tour-group: You shouldn't feed your child something like that for breakfast!

I have to make a comment here: Americans act as though America is the paragon of all that is good in the world. Where does this self-delusion come from? They are so quick to point out corruption in another country while wickedness of all sorts is going on right under their noses! Perhaps the Minuteman Project fanatics who blame the Mexican migrant workers for exploiting services should do a little self-examination at their own fraud.see footnoted quote!.Can someone please explain this to me?.
So ends my story on Americans say and do the craziest things!.[1] Billions Misspent by Medicaid in New York State, Tuesday,.HealthIssues Daily Briefing, July 19, 2005.
Billions Misspent by Medicaid in New York State A year-long investigation by the New York Times found that the New York state Medicaid program has been misspending billions of dollars annually because of "fraud, waste and profiteering." According to the Times, the program has become so huge, so complex and so lightly policed that it is easily exploited. NewYork's Medicaid program spends about $44.5 billion annually, which is more than any other state, including California, whose Medicaid program covers about 55 percent more people.
