[Leica] OT: International Travel

[Nathan Wajsman]

Peter, I sense no anti-American sentiment in Spain or any other EU countries where I travel. There is obviously a great deal of unease and bewilderment about the fascist regime that has taken power, but it does not translate into a negative sentiment towards the American people. If anything, the sentiment is one of compassion.

Cheers,
Nathan

Americans, are any of you considering changing your international travel plans in light of the last couple of weeks?  And Europeans, do you have any indications that Americans might be made to feel unwelcome in your countries, either by border officials or the "man or woman on the street?"

I was born in the U.S.  My wife is a long-time naturalized citizen originally from Ukraine, and speaks with an accent. Occasionally her background has led to minor but unnerving extra scrutiny when traveling. And that was before all the "exciting" new developments since Jan 20.
