an american drawl... curious. i only think of people in the south/southeastern part of the U.S. as having a drawl.
the camera is really a give-a-way for tourists of any type. when brits, euros (sorry for the general classification) and especially japanese tour in the U.S. they are distinctively dressed and often have a camera on the ready. i'll never forget a big group of camera toting german tourists crowded around a terrified armadillo on one camping trip. priceless. the only distinguishing characteristic for tourists that i would agree with is our size. especially overseas... some of us are remarkably bigger (and by bigger, i mean fatter) than the local population.
interesting... would love to hear some more about how our language sounds to a foreign ear. i know posting in text isn't the best medium for the discussion... alas, that is all we have.
