The_Munchmaster Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I was in The Agency (a classy Dubai wine bar) last week sitting at the bar having a glass or two of red wine when an American guy came up to the bar and this is the short conversation that followed between him and the barman. American (in a loud voice): Do you have any draught beer? Barman: No, but we have a selection of bottled beers. American (in an even louder voice): Godammit (and then he left). It was a wine bar, everyone was drinking wine and there was no sign of any beer pumps! This is the kind of behaviour that stereotypes Americans as loud, brash and unmannerly which is unfortunate for the decent Americans (and I'm sure there a few of you).

enigma Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Was it George Bush? He is the epitome of that stereotype. Makes me embarrassed to be an American. Worst. President. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey!!!!!!!! I resemble that remark :: Yes, some Amercians can be loud but like you say, this is a stereotype. Question I have...was the wine good? I like red wine but the 30/35 C temps here in BKK don't excite me to sip wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longwoodguy74 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Consider yourself lucky if the red wine isn't refrigerated (as it should never be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for not drinking wine in Bangkok because of the temperature, well it gets a hell of a lot hotter here in the summer (close to 50 C) but it never puts me off my wine.

cavanami Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ahhh yes, it does get a bit warm. I was down the road from you in Bahrain for nine months! Been to the UAE a bunch, Kuwait, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
