     A recent Living Social survey showed that Americans may live up to their poor reputation while
travelling abroad. But what's more surprising is that many of those surveyed self-identified themselves
as 'ugly' Americans and the world's worst travelers.
     Those in the U.S. ranked themselves as the worst travellers by a shocking 20 per cent, followed by
15 per cent saying the Chinese were the most substandard tourists.
     Americans topped the list as being the worst-behaved travelers in a survey of 5,600 respondents,
4,000 of whom were Americans. Other respondents were in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United
Kingdom. But even American respondents considered their compatriots (同胞) as the worst travelers
from a list of 16 nationalities.
     Canadians and Australians also put Americans in the No. 1 spot. Irish respondents pointed to U.K.
residents and U.K. respondents gave Germans the nod. On the other hand, 37% of Americans opted
for "none of the above" in answer to the worst-tourists question, displaying more tolerance and
open-mindedness than the other nationalities.
     Other survey questions had respondents admitting pilfering from hotels. Four in ten U.S.
survey-takers said they'd stolen something - mostly towels (28%) and bathrobes (8%). Other popular
pinched items included pillows, remote controls, Bibles and sheets.
     Not surprising is that Americans have less time off from work than other nationalities. Americans
reported getting 16 days off, compared with 28 days for the Irish, 27 days for Australians, 23 days for
U.K. workers; and 21 days for Canadians.
     In the travel mishaps department, the most common travel disaster reported by Americans was lost
luggage on an airline (21%)； bad weather (21%)； and getting very lost (16%).
     As for places Americans most want to see, Disney World and Las Vegas made the top 10, but they
weren't at the top of the heap. And New York didn't make the cut.
