Fwiw few americans travel abroad, and even fewer outside of major hotspots and tourist locales. When travelling it's somewhat unusual to meet an american around town.
Saw your comment about the military base so there's probably more to it than that, but the base probability of "american" in a lot of places is low.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThanks. I didn't realize that. But the first incident that stuck in my mind was when an American soldier greeted me in German on the sidewalk in front of the McDonald's across the street from the entrance to the American base. I had my very blond baby with me. Yes, I'm half German. Yes, my child is one quarter German. But he was an American and Americans walked across the street to the McDonald's regularly. It very much weirded me out. Like "Why would you think I'm a German national? You're not. Do I not look American to another American on the sidewalk across the street from the American base??"
