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!"

And one more.My Girlfriend and I were on a Holland America cruise, and one day we got onto an elevator and were greeted by several old women. The women then promptly started a conversation amongst themselves about Dutch cities (you see, i'm half dutch, and a Dutch citizen, so I was intrigued.). "Let's see, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Westerdam (the Ship's Name), do all Dutch Cities end in Dam?" I then responded to their question going "No, actually..." and rattled off a bunch of Dutch City names that do not end in Dam.
