nothing to do with business

not necessarily - i imagine they are ready to pay more for *exclusive* stuff.

more than western europeans, i mean. but i guess no-one would beat russians in that. or so anecdotes on the "new russians" claim.

[ADR147]

true the russians are a mad bunch when you see them in the south of france these days they are spending money like water! but my thing with americans is more about what they think of as food, their totally offensive idea of a coffee, their dreadful cars and the fact that they insist on telling you how they are the best and biggest of everything - drives me round the bend!

Americans have the best taste money can buy.

yep it's said that they (new ru) don't even pay attention if stuff is not expensive enough

well, and american's, you can't judge them too badly, they'd have a big piece of water to cross first, to test their common knowledge of the world:

this makes for good reading. http://www.anzasa.arts.usyd.edu.au/a...04/OConnor.pdf

like this bit.

"The
French diplomat and bishop Talleyrand (1754-1838) anticipated two
centuries of European commentary when he declared ‘thirty-two religions
and just one dish’.11 And summing up the criticisms of nineteenth-century
European intellectuals about America’s lack of civility and taste, Norwegian
writer Knut Hamsum commented that ‘America is a very backward country
culturally’.12 However, what infuriated Europeans the most was that this
American backwardness and uncouthness was combined with what they
regarded as a cocksure arrogance."

Didn't Oppenheimer say that...
