Do your countrymen embarass you?
I used to travel abroad alone a lot for work and stay in hotels often in tourist areas and I never failed to be mortifyingly embarrassed by the British abroad. The behaviour of the drunken British tourist doesn't really help either.
I assumed it was just the British that were this uncouth, illeducated, rude and shamefully embarrassing, until I met my wife who's first language is Russian (she is Belarusian) and she feels just the same way about Russians Abroad.
Do people from other nationalities feel the same way, do your countryfolk embarrass you?
