Is it normal not acting excited during a trip in europe?

Last year I travelled with a friend for the first time, we made a tour around Europe (he is european). The thing is that he got extremely angry at me and complained all the time because I wasn't showing "enough excitement". He said I ruined his experience because nothing seemed to impress me, and he felt it was insulting to "his continent".

Travelling is the activity I enjoy the most. I am a photographer too, so I am always happy to be in new places.

I felt quite happy during all the trip, but indeed, I wasnt screaming "WOOOWWWW!" or anything, I was just enjoying everything silently.

I have been thinking though... is it the normal behaviour to act like a kid in a candy store when you are in Europe? Was I too cold? Could it be considered as lacking emotions?

    some people love feedback too though it makes them enjoy themselves more

    I'm the same way. I just don't want to share my excitement about certain things

    Mby you just didn't see what you wanted to, nothing caught your eye :/ when I was in cancun it was pretty but I didn't care much for it, but when I when I go to Tijuana I LOOVE taking pictures of the people n food n streets n houses. It depends on you, so yes it's normal(:

    Well, he had to get off work, plan the trip and spend big money on this trip with you..so it would have been cool if you showed a bit of exitement or at least a few '' woah, that's nice''..

    I can understand him, I did the same thing but in Canada and after a few days of not having any feedback, I was about to tell them to f*ck off and spend the day on the internet if that's what they like.

    I spent almost 1000$ on people who didin't seem to give a shiit about the efforts people were doing and always comparing Canada to their homeland.... I could have used that time, efforts and money on me instead.

    Get my drift?
