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!"

Not so stupid AmericansMy gf and I met an American family from California while on holiday in Costa Rica. They were Democrats, took a real interest in both our countries (I'm a Brit, she's French), asked intelligent questions and discussed the then upcoming presidential election. The kids practised speaking Spanish to the locals instead of expecting them to know English.
Not at all stupid tourists but thought it worth a mention.
