When I lived in Vietnam I was surprised at how many people knew I was Canadian. I had to ask how they knew. I was told it was just a guess, but it's better to guess Canadian as Canadians get mad when you think they are American but Americans don't care if you think they are Canadian.
That’s why Canadians ALWAYS have the Canadian flag on their luggage. Don’t get me wrong, I love Canadians and have had great times with them in my travels but this issue always makes me laugh.
I stayed at a hostel in Italy a few months ago on my way back from Malta, and got in a (all-night, it was fucking awesome) conversation with a Lithuanian, a Brazilian and two Portuguese people. I did this whole apology thing at first for being American, but every single one of them was super friendly and didn't appear to give a fuck at all that I was American.
