More recently, with the weak dollar, Europeans have descended on New York City, as have some Chinese tourists with their new-found wealth. With each wave of tourists, local resident have had a chance to observe the behavior of each of these groups and form judgments.
When we venture overseas, we should remember that our individual actions are being watched and judged. Though most of us are not as famous as our nation's Olympic athletes, our actions inevitably affect our nation's reputations. Like it or not, when we travel, we are all ambassadors.
