Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Mer'kans?Lived on the shores of Lago Maggiore (the Italian side) for about half a year. Lovely place... but periodically a giant tour bus would huff up to the Plaza, and out would roll this huge batch of obese, sweaty, loud, self-centred...
Germans.
Yes, the Ugly American is a stereotype, and I'm not saying it doesn't exist... but you know? It can happen to any country.
