Some of the Tell Tale Signs That a Tourist Traveling Abroad Is American

Only Americans Wear Shorts in the Cold

So, it's not just Americans that wear shorts outside when it's cold. But it's one of the most clear signals that someone is a visitor. Of course, what is chilly is different for everyone. In some places, it can be in the upper 60s, and the natives might believe it's freezing, while tourists, especially those from the US, would think it's quite hot. That's when you'll see the Americans in shorts and the locals all bundled up.

Even when it's snowing or there is snow on the ground, it's not uncommon to see Americans wearing shorts outside. Aren't their legs cold?
