I think I met that German guy...
I was in a resort in Tagbilaran (an hour and 20 by jet boat from Cebu) City a couple of years back and a white guy crossed in my path, so I politely said, hi, excuse me. He replied "shizza" or however you spell the German word for sh*t. Well I couldn't care less about the miserable German SOB so I just smiled at his arrogance and went about my pleasure.
In the Philippines the Germans are famous among the native population for assholism...which they are known for pretty much everywhere. I much prefer a German on his home turf where in my experience they can be fairly nice folks. I have some very good memories in fact.
Stefu, where did you pick up this bit of news about Cebu? Was it a US civilian or US military? Fair amount of that in Cebu these days...Long time member @ Apolyton

I saw bars in Spain, or was it Greece that didn't allow Germans in because they were trouble makers
.
I have seen quite few of those (bars that is).
So they're quite known in many places.
But to their defense I have to say that I don't know a place that has dumber acting people than here. We have good old bar fights etc, chairs flying around. Seen it many times. I can't go out and NOT see a fight or just plain beating. Also women won't put out, so I guess that's where all the aggression is coming from.In da butt.

Re: I think I met that German guy...
I don't think this is true. A major survey of top tourist locations around the world last year ranked the Germans as the most-desired tourists, with Americans coming in second. And this was even with the Germans being notoriously cheap tippers. I've certainly never heard of them having such a reputation. Now the Brits, however, are generally regarded as loud, obnoxious fight-starters.Originally posted by Lancer

are you sure it wasn't brits?I saw bars in Spain, or was it Greece that didn't allow Germans in because they were trouble makers .
or maybe they didn't let germans in because the bars were already full of brits. I know a lot of them don't take kindly to germans, especially when beer and football is in the picture.

Given that the most desired qualities in any tourist are cash, an unadventurous nature and extreme gullibility, is that a rating you're proud of?Originally posted by Boris Godunov

Iraq- my ass. The media is just twisting it as usual. Obviously the real, underlying reason was probably that the ignorant american just walked up to the chair at the hotels pool where the german guy had put his towel at dawn and just took it!CEBU - An American tourist was knifed and wounded by a German man in the central Philippines in a bar brawl over the raging issue of Iraq, police said Monday.

Think Big! Think Cebu!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Big deal. Knife fighting in Phillipino bars is a daily occurance.
