    I also travel everywhere, speak English to random people in restaurants and services and expect them to understand it. Cuz they can’t possibly expect every visitor to their country to speak their language somehow?

    I always hear about obnoxious Americans traveling, speaking English to locals and being upset when they’re not understood. I’ve never really seen much of it. Usually it’s a polite “excuses me <insert phrase>”. Yes, said in English to a someone in a country where English is not the main language. Yet, what else do you expect them to do?
