I am an American and I just got back from Cuba a few days ago. You can travel under the category "support for the Cuban people". The Cubans are friendly and the old American cars are cool. And they do have a US Embassy there. I flew on United Airlines out of Houston. You can change US dollars into pesos though some places expect US dollars. There are restrictions on where you can stay at what you can do.

Saying this as a Russian, Russians love Americans. I’m not just saying it. They really do. We’re very much alike. Apart from taking off your shoes at the door, I haven’t noticed any other differences. The process of getting a visa is much easier now. I hear one can get it online. Come visit, you are always welcome. P.S. I’m a Western Russia dweller but I am SURE you’ll be treated just as nicely in the East.

The Russian tourist sites were overrun with Chinese tourists buses - good Chinese workers were given cheap vacations there as a kind of bonus. They broke all the rules, crossing fences onto lawns for photos in front of flower beds, going backwards from their tour group to get better photos - and i think the Russian workers were not allowed to chide them. If you are nice and treat people the way you would want to be treated, just about everyone everywhere is nice. This works best between women.

Im glad I watch this video because now I know what to do to be welcome to Saudi Arabia when I travel there one day

As a Brit who's been lucky enough to travel most countries in Europe, 4 in Africa, plus Australia and the USA, from my experience I've found Americans, Irish and Greeks the most welcoming. I think Hollywood should take a lot of the blame as it so often (particularly older movies) showing Americans to be loud mouthed big heads when in reality the're nothing like that. I could also blame Hollywood a lot for the way it portrays the Brits as well for that matter. Edit: It might be a good idea to do a vid on which countries people would want on their side in a war.

I am an American who has lived in Turkey for a little over three years. Most of the people are nice and welcoming, but the government is often not. When it came to applying for a residency permit, the people at the immigration office (göç idaresi) really made it difficult and would always insist that I wait, while others would cut ahead to ask questions or give their papers. I had some confusion with some dates and papers and they really rubbed it in that I had to pay a big fine and would have a temporary entry ban. And one time, there was a worker at a Starbucks who lost his temper when I told him my background because something didn't work out with his visa (Turkish people almost always ask where I am from. It can get tiring). Some people also made a point to complain about the US military base there, NATO, or some other policy when I told them my background. Whatever, I work in software and don't have a say in it. But people in the Middle East are also very conspiratorial, and some people couldn't be convinced that I didn't work for the government in some form. But I do have to say that I think the part about Saudi Arabia is inaccurate. The people there are often more pro-America than many Americans. Many of them were educated in the States, and plenty can say more about US pop culture than I could. I have found the vast majority to be very enthusiastic about Americans.

I found a nice family from Volgograd who was celebrating the husbands birthday sitting next to us in a restaurant. I randomly said "Happy Birthday" to him.

I realized at least with Russians, they are warm towards Americans if you aren't arrogant and acknowledge that our country also isn't perfect and express that many don't agree with what our politicians do. Once you acknowledge that, Russians set politics aside and we see each other as humans with much in common.
