Forgive me going off topic a bit, but, it's the funniest thing. I have barely a drop of Celtic blood in me--though my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Bailey--it's almost all pure German--yet there is something about Celtic art forms, and Celtic music--including the pipes--that really appeals to me--makes the hair on my head stand up, too!  :D

Now back to our regularly scheduled topic. ...

I think maybe the "ugly's" are few and far between from any country, and maybe they are noticed more by the people in the country they come from, than the people in the country they are visiting.
