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!"

Feel anal for pointing this out, but Hawaii is in fact America (the 51st state or something like that) so that poor Japanese girl is not being thick after all.
Re: stupid tourists, An English tourist visiting Hong Kong (where I live), mistakes me for a market vendor and takes the piss out of me, saying to my boyfriend: "Go on, buy it mate, she's desperate". I was showing him a belt. Condescending git.
