What'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!"

I knew a Korean girl who was studying university in Waterloo or some place in Canada. In a convenience store, she saw something called "dog jerky," which she thought about buying and eating as a snack. I had to explain to her that dog jerky was made for dogs, not of dogs.
And she told me of a Japanese friend who was going to Canada in the middle of summer for skiing.
