1) I've been asked why about the war but not much else. Not that I had a great answer either. I was not made to feel uncomfortable.

Still better than "Seniora di Galina" (the chicken lady) or "Seniora di Kentucky" or just "Kentucky"...names given to me (to my face, anyway), by many here...

In my travels I have came to the conclusion that its better not to say that I'm from the USA unless actually ask point blank. Not that I'm ashamed for being an American but we Americans tend to upset other people of the world for some reason maybe for our wealth. I have been told that I have a Canadian accent even though I have never been to Canada much less lived there. So I let people believe what they think. I have seen people react to us Americans in less than polite ways, once in Honduras I left the bar because of a drunken native saying how much he hated the Americans and we all should be shot... It was time to GO! I never travel outside the US with any t-shirt that advertises any business in the US, never wear red, white and blue colors that stand out to be American. My dive luggage doesn't carry any logos, dive wise or country wise. I keep myself low key and try never to stand out in a crowd at an airport and also must admit that I almost always take dive vacations alone so there isn't any safety in numbers where I'm concerned.

Well, all very interesting comments, so I'd thought we'd put our 2 cents in.

This is Ann. I would agree with what the others said. I live across from Alex at NAF NAF rental. He is a good guy and would recommend them.
