Reply With Quote.I read with interest a recent study by the Trans-Global Association for Travel and Tourism Commerce, which rated the behavior of tourists from all the world's industrialized countries. Consistently ranking last in the study — bottoming out in categories ranging from airline etiquette to podiatric hygiene — were travelers from Great Britain. "This settles it," a TATTC spokesperson was quoted as saying. "The British are the worst tourists in the world."

The worst tourists in the world
Yahoo
- Americans: Ignorant. Loud. Oblivious to surroundings. Insincere.
- French: Rude. Bigoted. A trifle out of touch with reality.
- Germans: Humorless. Rule-obsessed. Unfriendly. Stubborn.
- Israelis: Rude. Cheap. Arrogant. Cliquish.
- Canadians: Exactly like Americans, but more soft-spoken, more polite, less ignorant, and twenty times more boring. (Gays are not boring so your safe Canada)

Micronesians, Tongans, Samoans and other Pacific Islanders are the worst for me because they come straight from the Airport smelling like the fart air they sat in through the whole flight, they try to ask me in very bad broken english if I have a solar panel that will fit in their luggage that will run a tv, lights, radio, blender, etc. I have to then try to teach the laws of Photovoltaics to a guy who probably has at most a Sixth Grade Education even though he graduated High School, thats just how the Edu. systems work in Banana Republics...
We have a 20 watt module, 2 foot by 1 foot, a light bulb is 60 watts what they hell do they want me to pull out of my ass for them? (GoCocks:"A gerbil!")Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

The English travel quite a bit and love it when where they travel to has fish and chip shops and pubs.
So much for experiencing other cultures.
Their idea of speaking another language is to repeat the same thing in English but louder.

If you ever go to Waikiki here in Hawaii, a place called Arnold's, a hole in the wall bar with an upstairs lounge you can do lines of coke in and smoke a J(how would I know), anyway they have traditional fish and chips wrapped in newspaper... Originally Posted by Tatyana
