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

Restroom Versus Bathroom

If you're an American tourist in another nation and you need to find the bathroom, you should think carefully about how you ask for directions, especially if there aren't many native English speakers there. A lot of people know what a bathroom is, but toilets might be preferable. People might be puzzled or think you're from the United States of America if you say "restroom."

People in the UK will understand what you mean, but they will probably chuckle at "the Americans" for choosing this word instead of a more common one.
