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!"

While travelling around Ozme and the missus were staying in Canberra. In the same hostel there was a Chinese guy who obvously hadn't come across a potato before and seemed unsure of the best way to cook it. He'd got the biggest baking potatoe I'd ever seen, seriously it was a monster, and was trying to boil it whole in a saucepan. I swear he was in there for hours, every so often prodding it to see if was done and replacing the water that had boild away. Poor chap, I bet he was well hungry by the time it was cooked.
Also while in Cape Trib there were a group of Swiss (I think) guys trying for ages to cook spagetti hoops by putting the opened can in a pan of boiling water. I mean why? just empty the contents into the pan for gods sake.
There are really big spiders in Cape Trib.
