Hoi L:

You're absolutely correct. Swiss fans at ski races and European soccer tournaments can get loud. Love those cow bells.

Robjame, that is true about the weather, I am watching it with my hand on a jacket- has to be a jacket, we don't own a coat- it looks a bit chilly. Flanneruk, we are not burdened with our patriotism, we are born with it, happily I might add. I agree with JoeTro, we are more patriotic, maybe because we were raised believing we were the "beloved Americans" and you all must know that is a lovley and warm feeling and atmosphere to grow up in-ask any of our spoiled rotten kids-so we were extremely proud of being who we
are. I don't believe that takes anything away from other nationalities and wish everyone felt as I do. I married an Italian, wiht whom I have 6 children, who are Americans who take great pride in their Italian heritage and would not believe that they would not be welcomed and loved wherever in the world they traveled - simply for who they are. Capito?

I'm sure you've tought them not to "pee in public" as someone above said. This will insult others. . If you absolutely have to pee, go to a sporting event.
