Saudi Arabia not in the list and hey, where is Other?

Nice photos.

I've been to all those places (luckily) but in my experience I've only encountered rude behaviour from the natives in Spain and Greece.

Also the list appears to be countries in the tourist or often-travelled destinations.

It is not in the top traveled destinations. But people in Saudia Arabia were very nice in my experience.

Have you actually been to Saudi Arabia?

Not in the top traveled destinations, millions go ther every year for Haj.

Yes I've been to Saudia. I guess Haj doesn't count lol

Never had an issue in any of the countries I've visited out of that list - mind you they are picking 'tourist' destinations - I tend to head off the beaten track.

Totaly agree on number 1, although never been to France but being in the tourist industry had the oppurtunity to meet a load and without a doubt they really are the most rudest and obnoxious people out there, also stories of friends and family who have visited France coroborate the view, we also had one Frenchman here and he did nothing but to fortify that stereotype.

Although I really hate to be generalising here and sincerly hope I am proved wrong sometime in my life.

Riiight

We had a great trip to France and had maybe a couple of service people who were indifferent, not what I would call rude. The rest of the people were actually very friendly and kind. I was trying to use as much of my French as I could, and we were travelling with kids, so maybe they were nicer because of that?

You're not French Canadian by any chance ?

No

In an American airport I was touched in a rude way by security. I never left the airport and met other Americans in America. In Amsterdam I only met friendly Americans.
In Dubai I only met friendly people too.
I have never been to Saudi Arabia.
In the future I want to go to Eurodisney near Paris.
