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!"

I visited a Buddhist temple in VietnamFor those of you who don't know, you're expected to behave in a respectful and reverential manner in such religious places as these.
There was a hedge cut into an unusual shape in the grounds of the temple. It represented a metal thing in which they burn incense as an offering to Buddha/their ancestors etc.
I didn't know this of course, and loudly asked our charming tour guide "Why is there a teapot here?"
