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!"

British Backpackers?If anyone ever wants to see the mecca for stupid tourists, go to Bondi Beach in Sydney (AUS). British people tend to go a bit silly when they experience their first day of sunshine, and tend to drink quite excessively when there is no one around to disapprove. They then tend to either drown or get rescued at 3am after deciding that a drunken swim at the beach would be a good idea.
Of course, nothing beats the young lad (I guess what you'd call a chav) that told my boss he was going to cross the Nullarbor plain on foot (google if you don't know where it is). We never heard from him again.
