Fake Foreigners Presented for your 'Edification'
The foreign man, from some exotic place as a figure of fun has been around awhile, I have posted some of my favorites, my personal favorites for many years have been the Elbonians. I'm sure Scott Adams was up to something here. I like when Wally had to go do a job in Elbonia, still have all that little series.
Balki B. of 'Perfect Strangers' was the most 'Balkans' of the lot, what with the pet sheep named Demetrios, the funky vests, and the dance is really like a production on 'Pink T.V. before there even WAS a Pink T.V.
Latke
Balki
Ivan Hrvatska
Ali G.
Borat
Maher, that guy in Turkey, you know the 'I kiss you guy' Sorry no film of Maher, but he's out there and he's a real person as opposed to these acts that have preceded.

Bush to visit Europe
This rather surprised me, since well, I had a perfectly nice time in London and everyone was perfectly charming to me!
I had a perfectly nice time in Zagreb too for that matter, although people pretended not to understans what I was saying.
It was the only place where I had any problems making myself understood, and it could have been my accent. I don't have a real strong American accent in the local language, but my grammer probably drove people simply NUTS.
My only problem in London was getting directions, I had bad luck who I asked, they'd turn out to be other foreigners, or not from the neighborhood. Still in general people I met in England were very kind and helpful, same goes for Germany, and the Netherlands, and Austria, I had no real problems anyplace. England however was excellent. I am glad I had the chance to see London.
One experience I had was this man on this little boat on the Thames, pointed out a place where there was a statue of George Washington set in some American soil, and the delight this English guy took in showing me where it was. I remember the really lovely houses and going on the Tube, which was wonderful also.
