Stupid Tourists
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 guess everyone loves a bargain...
I live in Florida, and I live a few miles down the road from Sawgrass Mills, a very large discount shopping mall that inexplicably draws thousands of international tourists every year who make a special trip from Orlando or Miami. Yes, it's very large, and yes, the dollar is weak. But do dozens of tourists need to stop in the middle of the walkways to videotape their family members buying discounted Levi's and knockoff Burberry bags? One can hardly walk through the crowds without jostling a tourist from Europe, North or South America, or Asia with his camcorder, trying to make sure he gets a good shot of the missus buying a cheap GAP t-shirt.
