Based on my humble experience deriving from travelling forwards and back for the last 30 years, there is a big difference how a US American expects to be treated oversees and compared to how foreigners are treated in the US. Coming from Nebraska or not, there appears to be the expectation that everything overseas works like in the US whereas in the US everybody expects your conduct as a foreigner has to be that of a US American
