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!"

VietnamnesiaSitting a bar on Khao San Rd, Bangkok...Overheard an American chick telling her American friends how annoyed she was by little kids when she travelled through Vietnam. They threw stones at her. She was whining on about couldn't understand why they would want to do that. Whine whine whine...
So I helpfully pointed out that perhaps the fact that America bombed the crap out of Vietnam had something to do with it? She replies 'whaddya talking about?' I explained a bit about when it happened etc etc. Cue her getting very shitty with me about us 'mangy Brits always trying to bring America down' and telling me that it can't have happened because they didn't teach her about it in school!
I will never forget her. Imbecile.
