    “What, I just went into Belfast and said how much I appreciate the people as proud Englishmen? What a bag of assholes and idiots!”

      Interesting scenario you chose right there.
      My stepmom (who already spoke Castellano like a pro) was simply trying to do tourist things and enjoy the experience. She wasn’t trying to be the ‘loud, typical Aussie / American / etc’ type of tourist.

      Why is she the ‘bad guy’ in this situation…?

        The scenario is that, coming into Barcelona and affecting a Madrid accent, isn’t “hyping up and appreciating other peoples and cultures”. In fact, it’s like exactly not that. See if you can figure out why from the example I gave you.
