        The real problem was they were trying to speak French in Spain and Spanish in Italy. Common mistake, happens all the time.

        Every country I’ve traveled to.

        Japan and Korea were all smiles while asking me to go English. Very patient.

        Some Germans saw me as a way to practice their English, which was funny.

        France, I avoided tourist cities and they still had a look of annoyance with my broken French.

        Thailand/China was probably the most “stop, just speak English”.
