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!"

Rainforest in the sky...The local casino has a 'rainforest dome' on top - an artificially created environment (obviously!) with local flora and fauna such as a crocodile, parrots, koalas, etc.
Whilst there with my daughter a Japanese guy got chatting to me and his wife asked in faltering English "Has this rainforest always been here?"
I was tempted to say "Yeah, it's used to be suspended in mid-air so they built a casino underneath it" but figured something may have got lost in translation so I just replied that I wasn't sure.
And the Japanese tourists are always so nice and polite too.
